IPL 2025: Top 3 players RCB might release ahead of the mega-auction
RCB finished fourth in the last edition of the IPL.
1. Faf du Plessis
Not retaining your captain is never ideal, but that’s likely the direction RCB will go with ahead of the next edition. Faf du Plessis has been good, both with bat and captaincy, but his age certainly plays a massive role. He is currently 40 and despite being extremely fit, the franchise can’t trust him with the baton for another three or four years.
The former South Africa international was part of RCB for three years and scored 1636 runs in 45 matches. Under his leadership, the franchise qualified for the playoffs on two occasions, which is a good record, to say the least. However, he may not be able to sustain the skills required to compete in the premier global T20 competition.
They will be looking for alternatives in the market and will try to bring in someone who can lead the team for a decade, like how Virat Kohli did in the past. With the star India batter still there, he can guide the next captain if RCB indeed decides to part ways with Faf.
