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.
