**Bengaluru, India** – Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has begun its preparations for IPL 2025 with a focus on ending its title drought. The franchise has retained three key players – Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal – ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 auction. RCB will now build its squad around this core trio. This strategic move signals RCB’s ambition to compete fiercely for the championship next season. The news follows other IPL developments, including the Rajasthan Royals’ high-profile acquisition of 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi at three times his base price. (Note: The unrelated news about Champai Soren and the JMM has been excluded as it is not pertinent to the RCB story.)
