IPL 2025 Mega Auction will take place soon, and all eyes will be on the RCB team. Three-time runners-up Royal Challengers Bengaluru have retained three players before the mega auction. They have retained Virat Kohli as their number one retention, with Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal being the other two names on the retention list.
RCB need to stack up their squad with quality players, and this is the best chance for the team to assemble a team that can finally win the trophy. In this article now, we will look at five players RCB should target at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction.
1. RCB should target Jos Buttler at IPL 2025 Mega Auction
Faf du Plessis is no longer with RCB, meaning Virat Kohli needs a new opening partner for IPL 2025. The best option will be Jos Buttler, who has been released by Rajasthan Royals. RR do not have any RTM cards, which is why RCB can target Buttler easily.
2. RCB should target Mohammed Siraj at IPL 2025 Mega Auction
Mohammed Siraj has grown a lot while playing for RCB. It was surprising to see him absent from the retention list, but RCB have an option of RTM. Siraj should be one of the RTM card picks for the RCB team.
3. Krunal Pandya
Last season, all-rounder Swapnil Singh turned fortunes for RCB with his all-round brilliance. Bengaluru should opt for another player of that caliber this season, and Krunal Pandya can be a fantastic addition to the unit.
4. Kagiso Rabada
Kagiso Rabada has lost his IPL deal from the Punjab Kings. He is one of the world’s best bowlers and can be a massive upgrade for RCB as compared to Alzarri Joseph, whom they had in their IPL 2024 squad.
5. Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal has the best knowledge of how to bowl at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. A reunion with RCB will be perfect for both parties because Chahal’s former team RR do not have any RTM cards for the auction.
