The Indian Premier League (IPL) is still being won by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). As they continue to search for the elusive maiden title, the franchise will be looking to hold on to key players ahead of the big auction. IPL 2024 was a two-part story for RCB. After battling to avoid the wooden spoon in the first half, they finally found the right mix at the pivotal moment and surpassed every prediction and calculation to earn a spot in the playoffs.
Virat Kohli;
Since the start of the IPL, the previous captain of the RCB has been a member of the team. He won the Orange Cap last season after scoring 741 runs with a strikerate of 154 in 15 games. Kohli is both the team’s face and its soul in many respects. It appears that he will continue to be the top choice.
Mohammed Siraj:
With seam and bounce, the top Indian bowler can win games by himself on his day. Apart from his mistake last season, the Hyderabad-born speedster has improved greatly for the Indian national team and is a true star for the Bengaluru-based team.
Glenn Maxwell:
If the Australian allrounder did not blow everyone apart with RCB in the IPL last year, there is always hope that things will get better in the future. After a dismal season, a few impressive performances for the national team may provide the “feel-good” push he needs to reach his highest point. Maxwell has the ability to produce game-winning innings when he is in form, and RCB will hope that the Australian import lives up to the expectation.
Faf du Plessis;
Even though the current captain’s international career is over, the 40-year-old South African is extremely sought after in franchise leagues worldwide. Du Plessis is in perfect health and just guided the Saint Lucia Kings to the Caribbean Premier League championship. Even if age is not on his side, the veteran can be an important benefit to the team if you match that with his batting skill.
Rajat Patidar:
Patidar, a middle-order batsman who can clear boundaries anytime he seeks, provides much-needed regularity. Something that can’t be bought on the open market The late bloomer’s beautiful strokeplay in the last moments of a game is something that must be saved.
Yash Dayal (uncapped):
The leftarmer has found a new start in Bengaluru after the setbacks of previous years, and his self-assured performances led the way for him to join the national team. The 26-year-old is likely tofindhis name among the retentions as a countable death specialist, one of the few in the sector.
