IPL 2025 RCB: RCB stands for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team has not won the IPL title even once, but the fan following of the team beats even the biggest teams. The simple reason is Virat Kohli. Kohli has been playing IPL only for RCB since the first year till now. This time also it has been retained. This time Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained only three players. This means that the team will have the opportunity to bring back a few more players under RTM if they go to auction. After all, who might be the players the team wants to bring back? Let us tell you.
Virat Kohli has been retained for Rs 21 crore
This time BCCI allowed all the teams to retain their 6 players. Teams that have retained the same number of players will not have an RTM, but any team that has retained less than this number of players can use the RTM to redeem any of their older players on auction day and receive a refund.

The team can bring back Mohammad Siraj
Now RCB will get three chances to RTM. There were many players with the team last year, whom the team would like to bring back. The first name that comes to mind is Mohammad Siraj. Mohammad Siraj sees the possibility of fetching a good price during the auction this time as well. He has taken 83 wickets for RCB so far, being the third highest wicket taker for RCB. Apart from this, their economy is also very good.
RCB will also be eyeing Will Jacks
Along with Mohammad Siraj, the team may also try to include Will Jacks in their team. 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, making him a strong contender for a comeback in 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 up. who is currently a part of India’s Test team. He is currently considered as India’s fastest emerging fast bowler. If we talk about his T20 career, his average is 7.71. He can also score some runs coming down the order.
