Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have made bold retention decisions ahead of the 2025 mega auction, retaining only a few key players while releasing the majority of their squad to rebuild for the future.
Retained Players:
- Virat Kohli – Batter, ₹21 Crore
- Rajat Patidar – Batter, ₹11 Crore
- Yash Dayal – Bowler, ₹5 Crore
Released Players:
RCB has parted ways with several prominent players, including:
- Faf du Plessis (Captain/Batter)
- Glenn Maxwell (All-Rounder)
- Mohammed Siraj (Bowler)
- Dinesh Karthik (Keeper-Batter)
- Reece Topley (Bowler)
- Cameron Green (All-Rounder)
- Alzarri Joseph (Bowler)
- Lockie Ferguson (Bowler)
- Others: Anuj Rawat, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, and several all-rounders.
Key Decisions:
- RCB retained Kohli, focusing on building around him for the future.
- Faf du Plessis, despite his strong performances, was released due to age and high retention costs, but RCB might aim to re-sign him at a lower price during the auction.
RCB’s overhaul reflects their drive for a fresh start as they aim to end their title drought in IPL 2025.
