Royal Challengers Bangalore’s strategy in the IPL 2025 mega auction was beyond everyone’s understanding. RCB has not used RTM cards for many of its veteran players. Players like Mohammed Siraj, Maxwell, Faf du Plessis were easily eliminated by Bengaluru. Apart from this, the team seemed to avoid betting on big names. RCB spent the maximum of Rs 12.50 crore on Josh Hazlewood.
Kohli will be the captain of RCB!
The question of who will take charge of the RCB team in the next season has become a topic of discussion, because he was seen avoiding big names. It is believed that once again Virat Kohli can take command of the team. Let us tell you three reasons, which are pointing towards the return of Captain Kohli.
Experienced players were not retained
Royal Challengers Bangalore retained only three players ahead of the mega auction. It was believed that the team would use RTM cards for many of its old players in the auction. However, RCB surprised everyone with its strategy. The team easily eliminated players like Faf du Plessis, Mohammed Siraj, Maxwell, Will Jacques. Now if you look at the RCB team, there is no player who can lead the team. Due to this, it is believed that the captaincy of RCB can once again be handed over to King Kohli.
Don’t bet on big players
Even in the mega auction of IPL 2025, RCB was seen avoiding betting on big players. After big names like Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Royal Challengers Bangalore did not seem to be doing well at all. RCB did not consider it necessary to invest money not only on Indian but also on foreign stars. RCB has bet on players like Phil Salt, Liam Livingston, Josh Hazlewood, Lungi Ngidi, who have little chance of becoming captain.
Kohli’s name was discussed
Before the mega auction, many reports came out in which it was said that the team management of RCB has talked to Virat Kohli about the captaincy. There were also reports that Virat has agreed to take over the captaincy again. Now looking at the Royal Challengers Bangalore team after the auction, this seems to be true. However, no official statement has come out yet in this regard.
