Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL 2025 Retentions: Key Players Locked In

Ahead of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has retained three key players: Virat Kohli (INR 21 crore), Rajat Patidar (INR 11 crore), and fast bowler Yash Dayal (INR 5 crore). Kohli, the team’s star and 2024 Orange Cap winner, remains crucial to RCB’s success. Patidar’s blistering form in IPL 2024 made him an essential player, while Dayal’s impressive bowling has earned him a key role in the team. RCB has released several big names, including Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammad Siraj, but retains flexibility with a budget of INR 83 crore and three Right to Match (RTM) cards for potential additions during the auction.
