Reactions to the squad have been polarized. While some fans reminisce about the high-profile players of the past, others commend the management for adopting a methodical strategy aimed at long-term success. Observers agree that the integration of new players into RCB’s setup will be crucial to their performance.

As the countdown to IPL 2025 begins, RCB is being touted as a potential underdog, capable of making a deep run if team cohesion and player form align. The squad’s reconfiguration could mark the dawn of a new chapter for the Bengaluru-based franchise.
