5 Players of RCB Might Release before IPL 2025 Mega Auction: After losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four wickets in the Eliminator on May 22, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are still waiting for their maiden IPL title. Now that the season is over, the management will evaluate what the team did right and what went wrong. They will identify the players whose performances helped them secure crucial wins.

On the other hand, they will also assess players who either did not perform well or were not given much chance to play during this year’s Indian Premier League competition. RCB star batsman Kohli scored a total of 741 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 154.50, making him their top run scorer.

At the same time, Yash Dayal took 15 wickets for RCB at an average of 9.14 runs per over, which was the best bowling performance by any player of the team in the entire season. Now preparations are on for the big auction for the IPL 2025 season, which will give all the teams a chance to make changes in their teams.

While the exact date and venue are still not revealed, the two-day auction process is expected to take place between December 2024 and February 2025. It’s that time of the year again – when RCB will have to decide who will stay and who will leave ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 auction. In this article, let us talk about the 5 players whom RCB might release in the auction next year

Players that might be released by RCB ahead of IPL 2025 auction

5. Karan Sharma

Karn Sharma is known as a player who brings luck to different teams. However, his magic touch did not work for RCB in IPL 2024. Talking about the performance of Karn Sharma, he played 9 matches this year and took 7 wickets while scoring 31 runs.

The most notable performance was when he smashed three sixes against Mitchell Starc in the last over against Kolkata Knight Riders when they needed 21 runs to win. Although this innings was not enough to get them the win, it did secure his place in the playing XI. At 36 years old, it is unlikely that RCB will be too interested in Karn Sharma during next year’s mega auction.
