Glenn Maxwell (Image Credit- Twitter X) In a shocking development in the Indian Premier League, explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has hinted at his exit from RCB ahead of the mega auction for the 2025 IPL. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has unfollowed the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) account on Instagram. There could be many reasons for this and one of them is that according to some sources, Royal Challengers Bangalore did not want to retain Maxwell. Maxwell got to know about this, perhaps that is why he has unfollowed RCB on Instagram. As the mega auction process for the IPL 2025 edition is getting closer, Glenn Maxwell’s future with the RCB team is uncertain. Glenn Maxwell’s journey with RCB Glenn Maxwell was bought for Rs 14.25 crore in the 2021 auction, and he was the key player bought. Glenn Maxwell was in great form in 2023. At that time, he scored 400 runs in 14 innings played. But this form could not continue in the IPL 2024 season. In the last edition, Glenn Maxwell scored just 52 runs in 10 matches played. Given the nature of the T20 league and the team dynamics, IPL franchises often have to make tough decisions. Thus, if the RCB franchise decides to release Glenn Maxwell to raise funds for a young all-round talent, it will be a significant move. 🚨 Glenn Maxwell Unfollowed #RCB on Instagram #IPL2025 #CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/8EFfex3165 — RCBIANS OFFICIAL (@RcbianOfficial) July 29, 2024 RCB captain can be changed Some reports have also claimed that not only Maxwell, Royal Challengers Bangalore team can remove Faf du Plessis and bring in a new captain.

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. RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) 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 RCB. (Photo Source: Karn 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.
Now teams will be able to retain only this many players in IPL 2025 Mega Auction, read what is the Retention Policy
IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. IPL auction. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. Actually, IPL 2025 is going to be a mega auction. Mega auction takes place every 3 years in which teams get a chance to release players and buy their favorite players again. How many players can teams retain in the IPL mega auction? Teams can retain only three Indian-capped players, a maximum of two overseas and one uncapped Indian player. As per this retention policy, BCCI has suggested retaining 3 players and using the Right to Match card for one player for the IPL Auction 2025. What is the RTM (Right To Match) card used in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction? Let us tell you that the teams playing IPL can retain players in two ways before the auction. If we give you an example, the first option the team has is to directly retain the players. The second option is Right to Match. Let us tell you how a team can use RTM. Under this rule of BCCI, any team can buy the player whom they had not retained. Let’s assume, Mumbai Indians did not retain Rohit Sharma and Chennai bought Rohit Sharma in the mega auction. But Mumbai wants to keep its player back in its team. So what will happen in such a situation? In this situation, Mumbai Indians (MI) will play the RTM card and pay that much money to Chennai Super Kings for Rohit Sharma and include Rohit in their team. Reports suggest that not all franchises are in favor of increasing the Right to Match card. Some teams want to retain 6-8 of their players, while some teams do not want this. In such a situation, if the retention list is increased then it will not make any sense. Therefore, the BCCI has said that there will be no changes in the IPL 2025 Retention Policy.
According to Aakash Chopra, SRH should retain these players before IPL 2025 auction
SRH was the runner-up of IPL 2024 SRH (Pic Source-X) In the recently concluded IPL 2024, the one-time champion team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team performed brilliantly. Hyderabad had to face defeat against Kolkata in the final match. However, the performance of the team during the entire tournament was unmatched. However, now the player auction is going to be held for the upcoming season of IPL. All the 10 teams will get a chance to retain only a few players. In such a situation, it will have to be seen which team is going to retain which players. On the other hand, well-known cricket commentator and former Indian player Aakash Chopra has made a big statement about the Hyderabad team before the start of IPL 2025. According to Chopra, Hyderabad should retain these players. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – It is absolutely necessary to retain Pat Cummins because there are 10 teams in IPL and you do not get any captain. You have to shop around for a captain and there aren’t a lot of Indian names available, but it will be interesting to see if you can convince him to stay with the team for three years. After this I would keep Abhishek Sharma, because you will not find Indian talent like Abhishek. Retention of Indian players is going to be important, because you will not get a chance to select such players. As the third player, I would like to retain Travis Head, but my third player can also be Heinrich Klaasen. Because for the position where Travis Head bats, you can take other players. But the position where Heinrich Klaasen bats, there are only Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Heinrich Klaasen. So, I would like to retain Heinrich Klaasen. As the fourth player, I would go with either Bhuvneshwar Kumar or T Natarajan.

RCB still regrets not buying Yuzvendra Chahal in the auction..! Mike Hesson made a big revelation
Yuzvendra Chahal has become the first bowler in IPL history to take 200 wickets. Yuzvendra Chahal & Mike Hesson (Photo Source: Before the IPL 2022 mega auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore had released Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal was a part of RCB from 2014 to 2021, and was the team’s leading wicket-taking bowler. Chahal has been a part of Rajasthan Royals for the last three years, and is in amazing form. He has also become the first bowler in IPL history to take 200 wickets. The decision of not retaining Yuzvendra Chahal hurts RCB till date. Recently, former head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mike Hesson has given the main reason behind the decision of not retaining Chahal. We couldn’t have gone for Yuji – Mike Hesson Mike Hesson revealed that the franchise had to retain only three players ahead of the IPL 2022 auction, which would have given them an additional Rs 4 crore in the auction. The franchise’s target was to buy both Chahal and Harshal Patel in the auction, but all their plans went waste due to the order in which the names of the players were announced in the auction. Speaking on GeoCinema, Mike Hesson said, ‘He (Chahal) is an amazing bowler and I think when you come into every cycle you have to decide who you retain. It’s one of those things where if you retain only three players, you get an extra Rs 4 crore in the auction. Mike Hesson further said, ‘We got a chance to get both Harshal and Yuji. But then the auction order came and Yuzvendra Chahal was at number 65, after Yuzi there was no other spinner in whom we were interested. We were interested in buying Hasaranga if we didn’t get Yuji. So we bid for him and then after Hasaranga came into the team, we could not go for Yuji. Neither Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal nor Wanindu Hasaranga are currently part of Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB is almost out of the race for IPL 2024 playoffs. The team is ranked 10th in the points table with one win and 2 points from 8 matches.

A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.
