4 Players RCB Might Release Despite Winning IPL 2025 Title: Liam Livingstone, Mayank Agarwal And...
photoDetails english 2912162 Updated:Jun 06, 2025, 09:55 PM IST 1. Liam Livingstone 1 / 8 England all-rounder Liam Livingstone was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for Rs. 8.75 crore during the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction. However, he didn't perform up to the expectations for RCB in the IPL 2025 season, scoring only 112 runs in 10 matches with an ordinary average of 16.00 and picked just two wickets. Livingstone was dropped from RCB's playing XI in the middle of the tournament and was later recalled in place of injured Tim David during the knockouts. Given his ordinary performance during IPL 2025 season, RCB might consider releasing Livingstone and buy a more impactful all-rounder ahead of the next season. Liam Livingstone's IPL Record 2 / 8 Liam Livingstone, who is known for his six hitting ability, has scored 1051 runs in 49 IPL matches with an average of 26.27 and strike rate of 158.76 so far. He has picked 13 wickets. 2. Mayank Agarwal 3 / 8 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) signed Mayank Agarwal as an injury replacement for Devdutt Padikkal during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Padikkal was in fine form before being ruled out of the tournament, scoring 247 runs in 10 matches with the help of two half-centuries. Mayank, who is an IPL veteran, played just 4 four matches for RCB in IPL 2025 season, scoring 94 runs with an average of 31.66 and strike rate of 148.43. However, with Padikkal's return expected next season, RCB might consider releasing Mayank in order to free up funds ahead of the next season. Mayank Agarwal's IPL Record 4 / 8 Mayank Agarwal, who has played for multiple franchises, has scored 2756 runs in 131 IPL matches with an average of 22.96 and strike rate of 133.52 so far. 2. Rasikh Salam Dar 5 / 8 Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Rasikh Salam was picked up by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for Rs 6 crores during the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. However, Rasikh played just 2 matches for RCB during the IPL 2025 the presence of pacers like Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal and others, it was very difficult for Rasikh to cement a place in the RCB playing XI. Given his high salary and less utility, RCB might consider releasing Rasikh in order to free up funds and pick another pacer ahead of the next season. Rasikh Salam Dar's Record In IPL 6 / 8 In his very short IPL career, young pacer Rasikh Salam Dar has played for four franchises. He has picked 10 wickets in 13 IPL matches with an average of 40.90 and economy rate of 10.62 so far. 4. Lungi Ngidi 7 / 8 South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi was acquired by RCB for IPL 2025 at his base price of Rs 1 crore during the mega auction. Ngidi played just two matches for RCB in IPL 2025 in absence of injured Josh Hazlewood and picked four wickets at an economy rate of 10.12. Given the lack of confidence from RCB management, Ngidi might be released by the franchise ahead of the next season. Lungi Ngidi's IPL Record 8 / 8 South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi, who was part of the CSK's 2018 title-winning campaign, has picked 29 wickets in 16 IPL matches at an economy rate of 8.53 so far.

Andy Flower, Dinesh Karthik surround Virat Kohli; all three have animated chat after PBKS bowlers leave him gasping
Virat Kohli has featured in IPL finals before, and never has he had the highest score for his side as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost on all occasions. On Tuesday, as the RCB returned to the final for the first time in nine years, taking on the Punjab Kings, Kohli showed considerable signs of struggle, leaving head coach Andy Flower concerned. Kohli, who has usually been an aggressor in the powerplay since being promoted to the opening spot in the IPL, dropped anchor in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. He managed just 13 runs off 10 balls in the powerplay, comprising a solitary boundary as the RCB scored 55 for one, riding on a fiery 9-ball 19 from Phil Salt, before Mayank Agarwal scored 24 off 17. Over the next three overs, as RCB also lost Mayank, Kohli managed only eight more runs in as many balls. The sight left Flower and team mentor Dinesh Karthik worried as he was spotted having an animated chat with Kohli during the strategic break. Punjab did their homework for the match against Bengaluru, which was evident from how they managed to keep their opponent silent. There were 12 balls that went without a boundary during the powerplay, and it resulted in Mayank Agarwal falling to Yuzvendra Chahal on the second ball in the seventh over. Even Kohli, who loves to play the cover drive, looked out of sorts against the new ball. The key to PBKS' bowling, especially for the quicks, was going for the good length area. Off the 15 such deliveries bowled, they conceded only 17 runs for a wicket, while the 18 shorter deliveries were smashed for 31 runs. Earlier, PBKS won the toss and captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bowl first unbder the cloudy Ahmedabad skies. Both teams made no changes to their playing XI for the final.

Robin Uthappa hails Jitesh-Mayank duo after RCB pull off historic chase in Lucknow
New Delhi [India], May 28 (ANI): In one of the most memorable finishes of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) scripted history by pulling off the third-highest successful run chase in the tournament's history, overhauling a daunting 228-run target against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with eight balls to spare. The unbeaten 107-run stand between captain Jitesh Sharma and opener Mayank Agarwal proved to be the defining partnership in RCB's six-wicket triumph, the highest-ever total chased at Lucknow. Jitesh led from the front with a blistering 85 not out off just 33 deliveries, peppered with eight boundaries and six towering sixes. On the other end, Mayank played the perfect foil, finishing unbeaten on 41 from 23 balls, striking five boundaries and keeping the pressure on the LSG bowlers. While speaking on JioHotstar after the match, former India cricketer and JioStar expert Robin Uthappa praised the duo's match-winning effort and underlined the importance of momentum heading into the business end of the season. 'It's a great victory for RCB. There's a lot of momentum that's going to come from this win for RCB. But the job's not done yet. One of the things RCB needs to do right now is respect the momentum they've just created from that scintillating, mind-boggling knock from their captain, Jitesh Sharma,' Uthappa said. He was full of praise for Jitesh's captain's knock, calling it a display of character and resolve. 'I thought that was an incredible knock -- full of determination and grit, which resulted in glory,' he said. However, Uthappa was quick to highlight Mayank Agarwal's invaluable contribution at the other end. 'Mayank Agarwal's knock was phenomenal as well. He played the perfect support role with Jitesh and kept finding the boundaries. He may not get a lot of attention, but that inning was critical for RCB's victory. No amount of praise is enough for that kind of contribution,' he added. This chase also marked only the third time RCB have successfully chased a 200-plus total in IPL history. With this statement win, they sealed a top-two finish in the league stage, as they will have two opportunities to reach the final. (ANI)
