Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the most followed teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. However, the franchise is yet to win its first-ever title. One of the team's biggest problems has often been their squad building.

Over the years, the RCB management has struggled to balance their squads perfectly. Often, they have spent too much on top-order batters, leaving them with less money to buy quality bowlers. 

Ahead of IPL 2025, RCB will look to put together a good bowling attack during the mega auction. They have retained Yash Dayal from IPL 2024; now, they might look for a couple of international standards bowlers to boost their strength. Here are three pacers that RCB should target during the IPL 2025 mega auction. 

Mitchell Starc

Why Should RCB Buy Mitchell Starc?

Mitchell Starc will likely be in the auction, as KKR has released him. RCB management can look to purchase the world-class Australian pacer as he will add great depth to their line-up. Starc has previously played for RCB and knows the team culture.

Besides already being an RCB player, the fact that he performs in the big matches and crucial stages is something RCB desperately needs. Also, Mitchell Starc can also contribute with the ball lower down the order. Thus, the overall utility of Mitchell Starc might induce RCB to buy him. 

Arshdeep Singh

Why Should RCB Buy Arshdeep Singh?

The young Indian pacer has developed his skills as a death bowler over the last couple of seasons. Arshdeep Singh has also proven his worth in the T20 World Cup. Adding Singh to the squad will add flexibility and dynamism to the bowling attack of RCB; hence, they can target him in the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Vaibhav Arora

Why Should RCB Buy Vaibhav Arora?

The KKR released-pacer, was an asset for his team last season. Vaibhav Arora showed great promise with the new ball. RCB will be looking to round off their bowling attack with specialists of all stages. The presence of Vaibhav Arora can provide RCB with great flexibility and dynamism in the games. Thus, Arora could be one of the prime targets of RCB in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
