RCB: There is going to be a lot of upheaval within all the teams before the mega auction for IPL 2025. According to the rules of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, all the franchises will be able to retain only 5 players before the auction. That means they will have to release the rest of the players.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is also going to have a similar situation. Virat Kohli's team can also leave all-rounder Cameron Green and spin master batsman Rajat Patidar. Along with this, the list also includes the names of many other strong cricketers. Let us discuss all the possibilities in this article as to which players RCB can retain before the next season.

Green-Patidar will be discharged from RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which is looking for its first title in IPL, can form a new team in the next season. In the Mega Auction, this franchise will look to add some good players to its team.

However, before that RCB will have to release some of its star cricketers. In such a situation, all-rounder Cameron Green, who was bought by the team last season for Rs 15 crore, can be dropped. Rajat Patidar is the second name in the list.

Virat Kohli will be retained

Virat Kohli, who has been a part of RCB since the first season of IPL, can be retained by his franchise in the next season. It is worth noting that the star cricketer of Team India has made a valuable contribution to this franchise. Apart from this, the team can also add fast bowlers Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal to its team again. The two young players whom Bangalore can retain are Suyash Prabhudesai and Mahipal Lomror. The franchise can release all the other players.
