In the IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are anticipated to fully commit to KL Rahul
Following Dinesh Karthik’s retirement, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) require a batsman who can keep wickets. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are almost certain to release KL Rahul, and the Indian star has been linked to rejoining RCB, the team he began his IPL career with. Rahul is a native son and the Royal Challengers’ obvious choice for the position behind the stumps. It is difficult for any club to go out and acquire a player of its choosing, though, due to the nature of the auction. However, before the IPL retention announcements, RCB gave a huge clue.
As the Bengaluru squad’s managers talked about retention and auction dynamics, Rahul was the only player not playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a video that the team posted. Fans were enthralled by Rahul’s appearance in the film, and many on social media suggested that the LSG star’s appearance virtually validated RCB’s plan.
Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Mohammed Siraj have perhaps drawn the most attention of any of the players that RCB is most likely to keep. Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell, and captain Faf du Plessis are among the team’s foreign options. If they are not retained, the Bengaluru team is likely to pursue some of these players through Right To Match in the auction.
