IPL 2025 RCB Target Players List: All the teams have geared up for IPL 2025. If reports are to be believed, the 18th season of IPL will be played from March 14 to May 25. Last month, a mega auction was held for IPL 2025, in which all the teams spent a lot of money in buying players of their choice. RCB has also bought many strong players in the auction this time. However, everyone was surprised by some decisions of the franchise. One of these was not buying KL Rahul.
In fact, before the auction, many media reports had claimed that RCB would buy KL Rahul at any price. It was even said that RCB will also make Rahul the captain. However, now all these news and claims have turned out to be fake. RCB’s target players list has come out, which has surprised everyone.
KL Rahul’s name is not in this list. Even the names of big players like Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are not in this list. That means all of them were not on the radar of RCB. Yes, the names of Yuzvendra Chahal and Venkatesh Iyer are definitely in the target list of RCB. Apart from this, the team also had a plan to buy Tim David and Liam Livingstone, which was also successful.
Apart from this, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also included in the wish list of RCB. For this reason, the franchise has bought Bhuvi by paying a huge amount. Players like T Natarajan, David Miller and Josh Hazlewood were also in the target list of RCB. You can see the list of RCB below.
