RCB IPL 2025 Auction Live: Key Signings And Remaining Purse For Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB IPL 2025 Full Squad & Auction Buys: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made significant acquisitions on the first day of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Phil Salt and Dhruv Jurel were their standout purchases during the event in Jeddah.
With the second-largest budget in the IPL auction, RCB made strategic moves to strengthen their squad.
Virat Kohli remains a pivotal figure for RCB as they prepare for IPL 2025. After an outstanding IPL 2024 season where he secured the Orange Cap with 741 runs, retaining Kohli was a straightforward choice. His experience and dedication are vital for RCB's quest for their first IPL title.
Rajat Patidar, known for his stability in the middle order, was another crucial retention. His ability to anchor innings and deliver under pressure ensures balance in RCB's batting lineup. Additionally, uncapped pacer Yash Dayal, who has shown promise in domestic cricket, was retained as well.
After making several purchases, RCB still holds the largest auction purse heading into the second day with Rs 30.65 crore remaining. They need to acquire at least nine more players and have five overseas slots available.
| Total Players | Overseas Players | Purse Used | Purse Left | RTMs Remaining |
