Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have always been known for their explosive batting lineup, but their quest for an IPL title has often been hampered by inconsistent performances in the bowling department and, occasionally, in the wicketkeeping sector. With the IPL 2025 mega auction on the horizon, RCB has an opportunity to address these gaps. Here are three wicketkeepers RCB should target to strengthen their team.
3 wicketkeepers RCB might target for IPL 2025
Josh Inglis
Royal Challengers Bangalore have used Dinesh Karthik as their primary wicketkeeper since 2022. Josh is a similar type of player, and he can be the perfect replacement for Dinesh Karthik at RCB. Additionally, the good batting track of Chinnaswamy might also bring out the best in Josh Inglis for IPL 2025.
Abhishek Porel
Hailing from Bengal, Abhishek Porel has made a name for himself with his performances in domestic cricket and briefly in the IPL. His agility behind the stumps and ability to score quickly make him an exciting prospect. Porel’s experience with Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, where he showed promise in limited opportunities, suggests he could be ready for more responsibility.
Jitesh Sharma
Jitesh Sharma has been making waves in domestic cricket and the IPL with his aggressive batting style. His ability to hit big in the middle overs could be a game-changer for RCB. Sharma’s wicketkeeping skills are also commendable, providing a solid option behind the stumps. His performance for Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 showcased his potential as a finisher, a role RCB has struggled to fill consistently.
