Rcb virat kohli

RCB Virat Kohli: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have announced that they have retained talismanic batter Virat Kohli (INR 21 crore), top-order batter Rajat Patidar (INR 11 crore), and uncapped left-arm fast-bowler Yash Dayal (INR 5 crore) ahead of IPL 2025.

“We’re all too aware of the need to establish a strong Indian core to our team going into the 2025 IPL season, and we feel that our retention decisions are a significant step in the right direction. It’s great to continue Virat’s lengthy association with RCB, I’m confident that a new group of players will benefit hugely from his inspirational and infectious energy, and his commitment to high standards,” said Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at RCB.

RCB have chosen not to retain their captain Faf du Plessis, all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Will Jacks, as well as fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. “It’s also great to secure both Rajat and Yash, two excellent players that offer relatively unique skills and abilities. In Yash’s case, as an uncapped player, he also represents outstanding financial value.”
