RCB Team IPL 2025 Predicted Playing 11, Players List, Squad: Virat Kohli has warned AB de Villiers to not utter the chant ‘Ee Sala Cup Namde’ anywhere possible, but the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s hunt for their maiden title will continue in the 18th season of the IPL, starting March 22.
RCB have had a mixed auction of sorts where they have reinforced their seam attacks with veterans Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood while developing a middle-order that could be a little shaky and unpredictable. With Kohli, Phil Salt and skipper Rajat Patidar manning the top-order, the team could be rest assured of quick starts at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
