RCB defends auction strategy and urges fans to trust the process in IPL 2025

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has responded to criticism regarding their strategy in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Despite having a budget of Rs 83 crore, RCB only acquired Liam Livingstone in the first two rounds. The franchise urged fans to trust their planning, stating they have more strategies and funds available. RCB did not use their Right To Match option for Mohammed Siraj, who was sold to Gujarat Titans for Rs 12.25 crore, surprising many supporters. RCB's cautious approach has raised questions, as they passed on several marquee players while retaining only three: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. Fans are left wondering about the team's direction for the upcoming season.
