RCB In IPL 2025: Check below RCB's five potential game-changers who could turn their team's IPL dream into reality.
RCB players to watch out for in IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), still in search of their maiden IPL title after 17 seasons, have built a solid squad for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Among their strategic acquisitions, five players stand out as key to Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) chances of finally clinching the IPL trophy in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.
Check below RCB's five potential game-changers who could turn their team's IPL dream into reality.
Liam Livingstone: Known for being one of the best finishers in the format, Livingstone has been brought in to strengthen RCB's lower batting order. A proven match-winner, Livingstone's explosive batting in tight situations makes him the perfect replacement for Dinesh Karthik as RCB's designated finisher.
In his IPL career, Livingstone has so far scored 939 runs in 39 matches at an strike rate of 162.46, including 6 half-centuries. His ability to hit the ball hard, over the ropes, under pressure in death overs makes him a game-changer for RCB in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: The seasoned pacer, who has been out of the Indian team for some time, could bring invaluable experience to RCB. Adding to the buzz, there is speculation that he might take on the role of captain in the upcoming IPL 2025 season.
Rajat Patidar: Thanks to his current fine form and proven leadership in domestic cricket, Rajat Patidar is a strong contender to lead RCB in IPL 2025, probably to their first title. Having represented RCB across 2021, 2022, and 2024 seasons, Patidar has scored 799 runs in 27 matches with a strike rate of over 158. He is the first uncapped player in IPL history to score a century in a qualifier.
Jacob Bethell: Young English all-rounder Jacob Bethell stands out as a rising talent who could become a crucial asset for RCB, possibly establishing himself as one of their standout players in IPL 2025.
Phil Salt: England’s explosive wicketkeeper-batsman Phil Salt, expected to open the innings and take on wicketkeeping duties, fills the gap left by Dinesh Karthik and brings firepower to the top order. A key contributor to KKR's championship win last season, Salt's aggressive batting make him an important asset for RCB in IPL 2025.
