Royal Challengers Bangalore have performed well in IPL 2024 and have made it to the playoffs. The team had a bit of a problem in the beginning, where they lost 6 matches in a row, but in the latter half of the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore made a strong comeback and performed brilliantly. As IPL 2024 is reaching its peak, everyone is curious to know who we will see in the Royal Challengers jersey next year.
Will Faf du Plessis captain again? Or will some changes be seen in the next IPL? Let's take a look at the players that RCB may retain before IPL 2025.
RCB can retain these players for IPL 2025
Virat Kohli : Royal Challengers Bangalore are very likely to retain Virat Kohli, as Kohli's batting is the main reason why they have been able to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs. Talking about statistics, he has scored 741 runs in 15 matches so far this season at a strike rate of 154.70.
Will Jacques: Another name that the franchise does not want to miss is Will Jacques. The 25-year-old English all-rounder has proven to be a boon for the team with his versatile skills. So far this season, he has scored 230 runs in eight matches at an excellent strike rate of 175.57. Which includes one half-century and one century. Although he has not bowled much this season, Jacques is also likely to be retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of IPL 2025.
Mohammed Siraj: Mohammed Siraj has been associated with the Bengaluru franchise since 2018. He has impressed everyone with his bowling ability. Like last year, this season too he impressed everyone. He has taken 15 wickets in 14 matches so far. However, his bowling economy has always been in the public eye. But his name is definitely appearing in the retention list. Because Royal Challengers Bangalore would like to strengthen their bowling.
Rajat Patidar: Rajat Patidar has earned the reputation of a big hitter. He has the ability to build partnerships and hit big shots when needed. Patidar has scored 395 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 177. He has also proven to be a valuable asset to the Royal Challengers Bangalore lineup. In such a situation, it is expected that Bengaluru can also retain its name in the retention list.
