The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to organize a mega auction before IPL 2025 and in such a situation, teams will be allowed to retain only a few players. According to the rules till now, any franchise can retain 4 players.

In such a situation, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team has decided which 4 players to retain and they can also release their captain Faf du Plessis. They can even show the way out to Glenn Maxwell.

RCB can release these players

Actually, if we talk about the release list, they will have permission to retain only 4 players and in such a situation they can release some big names.

Captain Du Plessis' name is also included in this because he is currently 40 years old and the Bangalore team would like to retain players keeping in mind the coming 3 years.

Veteran all-rounder Glenn Maxwell can also be released as he did not perform well last season and as a result the team lost many matches in the beginning.

RCB can retain these 4 players

If we look at the players to be retained, the first name is that of veteran batsman Virat Kohli and the Bangalore team will retain him at all costs. Apart from Virat, the Bangalore team would also like to retain Rajat Patidar because this player strengthens the team in the middle order and scores runs quickly.

Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj can be retained by the Bangalore team, while young England batsman Will Jacks can also be retained by the RCB team.

Jacks performed brilliantly for his team in IPL 2024.

Bangalore would like to strengthen its team in the auction

If we look at the performance of Bangalore in IPL 2024, then their bowling was very poor and due to this they had to face defeat in 7 out of the first 8 matches and now in the mega auction, good bowlers will be in the auction and in such a situation, they would like to strengthen their bowling this time.
