RCB won IPL 2025. However, they will want to improve their squad further before the next season. Here, we take a look at the list of three players RCB bid for in the IPL 2025 Auctions and might target again for IPL 2026.
Note: This list consists of players who are likely to be released by their current outfits before the IPL 2026 Auctions.
1) Venkatesh Iyer
At No.3, Venkatesh Iyer would still be an upgrade over Devdutt Padikkal or Mayank Agarwal. Of course, it would be harsh on DDP, but it will be healthy competition between the duo. If RCB insists on this signing, the batting unit will look better for the next season.
2) David Miller can be a target for RCB in the IPL 2026 Auctions
Liam Livingstone is likely to be released by RCB. Miller is someone who can be a possible replacement for this slot. Since he is a left-hander, the balance will be there and anyways, Miller will come with a lot of experience. Of course, a lot will depend on Miller’s form in the other T20 leagues.
3) R Ashwin
Don’t be surprised if it happens! R Ashwin is very experienced, and he will have a lot to offer in the next two years. RCB showed interest for the player in IPL 2025 Auctions. With Dinesh Karthik at the centre of the decisions, RCB could try to get him.
