As per reports, RCB is keen on having an Indian skipper for IPL 2025 and Rahul has also expressed his desire to join RCB. Therefore the franchise might target him in case he parts ways with LSG.

[{"selector":"#anim-e1faeec9-6d7f-499e-89fd-bc10fd8aaecf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(11.550519065286775%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af052c41-ead5-4b8c-9653-8658dbcbd132","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7399ea8-2c51-48dd-a785-23b487b60aa2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.42857%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Rinku Singh

[{"selector":"#anim-99887430-d17e-4854-a738-9f21eb790309 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81b2be44-06b3-427a-b072-071cbb07528a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44005759-27c9-48b3-9a91-1d30b533e1d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.14286%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Like KL Rahul, Rinku Singh too expressed his wish to join Royal Challengers Bengaluru due to him admiration for Virat Kohli. RCB might want him as a middle-order boost if Kolkata releases him.

[{"selector":"#anim-8712b9f0-18d9-4589-affa-2f3b39694a5d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-22.727272727272737%, -22.727269969108697%) scale(1.4545454545454546)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6e51a45-f773-4c6c-9681-7802caed97dd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7cd67fb7-6686-448b-8e6d-f7d9a9cd1be2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.14286%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Nandre Burger

[{"selector":"#anim-efb7717d-e90b-41df-b8bd-580b2fd6ba7b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-5.543478243392638%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-38a06581-a14f-44a8-a0bb-c95295454734","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2400ed64-b831-4693-9f00-bd1a620c3733","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

RCB might release Alzarri Joseph or Lockie Ferguson and opt for an overseas pace replacement like Nandre Burger. He has shown potential during his outings for South Africa and can do the same in IPL.

[{"selector":"#anim-814e200c-4e6d-4221-a39a-9c55e6658440 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-18.0644726025258%, 2.915111403461423%) scale(1.4166666666666667)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec85e13f-3e3a-4497-9b9a-409661b45ff9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94e90caa-388c-442c-b9a0-2b5e3a108721","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.85714%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Rishabh Pant

[{"selector":"#anim-a9639604-83be-458a-babe-de020299ccbd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86455fb6-b560-4a1c-a6ca-8a0812d4c5cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1cc42745-f6e3-4978-9969-fb87dcf07a5b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.85714%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With the retirement of Dinesh Karthik, RCB might want to add a hard-hitting wicket-keeper batter like Pant in their squad for IPL 2025, if DC releases him. Anuj Rawat is the only keeper Bengaluru has got now.

[{"selector":"#anim-6fa0ee57-83af-44f0-80ca-7f9003a824bd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-14.504876038218647%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c77cb009-b727-4aa2-ac08-30281f81876a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85c85c57-6855-4684-a22e-26ccec5929fe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Washington Sundar

[{"selector":"#anim-180be952-c669-4fb2-a143-f2fb3e059e75 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df296b53-c121-48d0-94bf-be9371212ffd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5dd84370-4b95-4503-b367-fbfb1495160a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Bengaluru might want an all-rounder like Sundar in the squad. He can add to the lower-order batting troop of RCB and also help in the off-spin bowling department.
