IPL 2025: Will these players return to RCB, these are the biggest contenders
IPL 2025 RCB: RCB i.e. Royal Challengers Bangalore. This team has not been able to win the IPL title even once, but the fan following of the team beats even many big teams. The simple reason for this is Virat Kohli. From the first year till now, Kohli has been playing IPL for RCB only. This time also he has been retained. This time Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained only three players. This means that the team will have a chance to bring back some more of its players under RTM if they go to the auction. After all, who could be the players whom the team would want to bring back? Let us tell you.
Virat Kohli has been retained for Rs 21 crore
This time BCCI had given permission to all the teams to retain their 6 players. Teams which have retained the same number of players will not have RTM, but any team which has retained less than this number of players can use the RTM i.e. Right to Match card on the day of the auction to redeem any of their old players. Can get a refund. If we talk about RCB, then the team has given Virat Kohli its first retention by retaining him for Rs 21 crore. After this, the team has decided to retain Rajat Patidar for Rs 11 crore. Yash Dayal has also been retained by the team, his price has been fixed at Rs 5 crore only.
The team can bring back Mohammad Siraj
Now RCB will get three chances to do RTM. There were many such players with the team last year, whom the team would like to bring back again. The first name that comes to mind is Mohammad Siraj. Mohammad Siraj sees a possibility of getting a good price during the auction this time too. He has taken 83 wickets for RCB so far, being the third highest wicket taker for RCB. Besides, their economy is also much better.
RCB will also have their eyes on Will Jacques
Along with Mohammad Siraj, the team can also try to include Will Jacques in its side. Who was playing for RCB last time also. He scored the second fastest century in IPL 2024. Also, the good thing about him is that along with his explosive batting, he is also a part-time spinner, which makes him a strong contender to return to the team.
Akash Deep may return to RCB
If we talk about the possibilities of RCB’s third RTM player, the name of Akash Deep comes in it. Who is currently a part of India’s Test team. He is currently considered to be India’s fastest rising fast bowler. If we talk about his T20 career, his average is 7.71. He can also score some runs by coming down the order. If RCB tries, they can include these three players in their squad again.
