1.IPL 2025 mega auction dates announced
The IPL mega auction for the 2025 season will be held on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This will be the second time the auction takes place outside of India. The player retention window for the TATA Indian Premier League 2025 season closed on October 31, 2024, as all 10 franchises finalized their core lineups. Royal Challengers Bengaluru retained Virat Kohli (21 crore), Rajat Patidar (11 crore), and Yash Dayal (5 crore) for the upcoming season. RCB did not retain Faf du Plessis this time ahead of the 2025 mega auction, leaving the place vacant for a new captain to fill his shoes. Here are four players who can captain RCB in the 18th edition of IPL.
2.Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, the top retained player for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), could potentially return as the team's captain for the 2025 IPL season. After captaining RCB from 2013 to 2021, Kohli is expected to be looking to step into the leadership role again post Faf du Plessis's tenure.
3.KL Rahul
After not being retained as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, KL Rahul could be on RCB's radar for a potential return to the franchise, possibly as captain. Rahul has previously led both Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
4.Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant's nine-year stint with Delhi Capitals (DC) ended when the franchise decided not to retain him for IPL 2025, in a surprising move. With his departure from DC, Pant is now a sought-after player, likely to attract heavy bids from various franchises. Having captained DC from 2021 to 2024, except for 2023 due to a car accident, Pant could be on Royal Challengers Bengaluru's radar, as they may look to bring the star wicketkeeper on board, possibly for the captaincy role.
5.Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, who guided Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to win the third IPL title in 2024, was surprisingly released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Having previously led Delhi Capitals to an IPL final, Iyer's leadership experience could make him an attractive option for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who may target him as captain for at least the upcoming cycle.
