Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has the largest following among all IPL teams, yet they have not yet won an IPL title. Despite being led by Virat Kohli, one of India’s most celebrated batters, the team is still chasing its first championship. RCB has faced challenges in past auctions, often overbidding for players who failed to live up to expectations. With the IPL 2025 auction on the horizon, RCB must adopt a strategic approach to selecting players who can make a real impact. Ahead of the mega auction, these three players could be valuable RTM (Right to Match) card targets.
3 RTM card targets for RCB in IPL 2025 mega auction
Will Jacks
Will Jacks should be Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s first pick as RTM card as he was exceptional in the IPL 2024. He scored 230 runs in eight wickets at an average of 32.86 and a strike rate of 175.57. Will could be a great addition to the team who will boast the batting line-up.
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell was purchased for Rs. 14.25 crore in the IPL 2021 auction. In the previous season, he had a disappointing run, scoring only 52 runs in 10 innings. As a result, the franchise released him. However, if other teams don’t pursue him, RCB could look to reacquire him at a lower price in the auction. Maxwell is a match-winner, and RCB wouldn’t want to let him go, but his high price may be a concern based on his previous performances.
