To achieve this, RCB should focus on targeting players who will bring real value to their lineup. Here are three suggestions for RCB to consider during the IPL 2025 mega auction.
RCB’s former star player AB de Villiers has also named his favorites for the team to target in the auction. Yuzvendra Chahal, Kagiso Rabada, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Ravi Ashwin are the four players De Villiers believes RCB should consider buying.
