Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) boasts the highest number of followers among IPL teams, yet they have yet to secure an IPL title. Despite being led by India’s biggest star batter, Virat Kohli, the team is still in search of their first championship. RCB has struggled with poor auction decisions in the past, often overpaying for players who didn’t deliver on their investment. As the IPL 2025 auction approaches, RCB needs a robust strategy to select players who can make a significant impact. Ahead of the IPL mega auction, these three players could be strong RTM (Right to Match) card options if they are not retained before the auction.
