Faf du Plessis Set to Leave RCB? Possible Retentions and Targets for 2025 IPL Auction

RCB Probable Retentions and Targets for IPL 2025  

RCB Probable Retentions and Targets for IPL 2025, The IPL buzz is back, and this time it’s about the much-anticipated mega auction. With all ten Indian Premier League teams gearing up for major changes while retaining their core squads, the stage is set for another exciting season of speculations and surprises. As the mega auction happens every four years, this edition is expected to see a massive reshuffle, with several big players potentially finding new homes.

One such team in the spotlight is Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), a franchise still searching for its elusive first IPL title. RCB will be under pressure to build a team capable of finally lifting the trophy, with an overload of talent expected in the auction pool.

Adding to the rumors, talks of releasing current captain Faf du Plessis and potentially bidding for KL Rahul to lead the team have emerged. While this would be a bold move, RCB’s management will need to make strategic decisions to form a squad that not only competes but dominates in the coming seasons.

RCB Possible Retentions for IPL 2025

With so many alternatives available, the mega auction will undoubtedly be a turning point in the franchise’s history. Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Md Siraj, and Cameroon Green/Will Jacks would be the top retainers. These are the top four or five players that RCB will keep, and they can use the Right to Purchase card in the auction to bring back a few other players like Maxwell, Patidar, and Vijaykumar Vyshak.

RCB is one of the four teams that hasn’t won an IPL championship in the 17 years since the competition’s start. They make the news every year around the auction for signing big-name players, but their on-field results fall short of expectations. For the upcoming season, they will thus be trying to steer clear of those blunders this time around.

RCB Possible Targets for IPL 2025

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are set to capitalize on the opportunity to revamp their squad. Where if KL Rahul enters the auction, RCB is expected to target him as their first-choice pick, possibly viewing him as the future captain to lead them to their maiden IPL title.

Beyond Rahul, several exciting players like Ashutosh Sharma, Tilak Varma, and T. Natarajan are likely on RCB’s radar. Ashutosh’s potential as a dynamic batsman, Tilak’s versatility in the middle order, and Natarajan’s death bowling skills would provide the perfect balance to their lineup.

With a large pool of talent up for grabs, RCB will aim to select a mix of experienced players and emerging stars, forming a core that can perform consistently for the next two to three years.
