IPL 2025 Retention Live: RCB Cricket Director’s Remarks
Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at RCB, commented, “We recognize the importance of building a robust Indian core as we head into the 2025 IPL season, and our retention choices are a key move in this direction. We’re thrilled to extend Virat’s longstanding bond with RCB—his infectious energy and commitment to excellence will be invaluable to the new group. Securing both Rajat and Yash, two players with distinctive skill sets, is also a big plus. Yash, especially as an uncapped player, provides incredible value. Letting go of players is never easy, given the strong bonds formed and shared successes; we wish them the best. Now, as we head into auction prep, we’ve retained top Indian talent, while maintaining flexibility with three RTMs and a solid remaining purse. It’s going to be exciting!”
