RCB has decided to keep their star player Virat Kohli with them along with Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal as they released their retention list.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is among the five teams that have played in all 17 seasons of the Indian Premier League. However, unlike successful franchises such as Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders, RCB is still chasing its first IPL title.
The Bengaluru-based team, which reached the playoffs in IPL 2024 but fell short of securing the trophy, will be aiming for a strong performance in IPL 2025 to finally end its long wait for an IPL championship.
