Virat Kohli, a stalwart of the team and one of the most prolific batsmen in IPL history, is set to continue with RCB. Kohli’s retention comes as no surprise, given his crucial role in the team’s success and his popularity among fans. Last season, he scored an impressive 741 runs at a strike rate of 154.70, showcasing his match-winning abilities.

Will Jacks, the England all-rounder, has also secured his place in the RCB team. Jacks made a significant impact last season with an explosive century in just 41 balls, demonstrating his ability to change the course of a game single-handedly. His versatility in both batting and bowling makes him a valuable asset for the team.

Mohammad Siraj, the only desi star bowler in the RCB team, has been retained despite his occasional inconsistency. With his experience and potential, Siraj is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening the team’s bowling attack.

RCB’s decision to retain only three players indicates a major overhaul of the team as they aim to end their long-standing trophy drought. The franchise is betting on building a new team that can finally clinch the IPL title. As the mega auction approaches, fans and experts alike are eagerly waiting to see which players will be released and who will join the RCB camp for the 2025 season.
