The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) has already created a buzz among the fans. The teams have already assimilated the best squad possible for them and are hoping to come up with a strong show in the tournament.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the most followed teams in the tournament. Despite having such a following, they have yet to win the trophy. This year, they have formed a better squad and will look to perform better.

Looking at the overall squad of RCB for IPL 2025, here are three all-rounders who will be a part of the playing 12 for most of the matches during the tournament.

3. Jacob Bethell

The young English all-rounder has already impressed everyone with his exploits in the international arena. Jacob Bethell has performed brilliantly in all formats of the game and has projected himself as a utility player who can perform under pressure. While Bethell could be a very important batter for RCB in the middle order, he could also bowl a couple of overs, adding flexibility to the team's attack. Given his overall presence and ability to influence a game in both innings, Bethell seems to be one of the potential regular players in their squad. 

2. Liam Livingstone

Over the years, Liam Livingstone has proven himself a utility player in the T20 format. His aggressive batting in the middle order can change the complexion of a match at any stage. Besides his ability to win games with the bat, Livingstone can bowl some effective overs in the middle phase and seize the momentum of the match for his team. His overall utility and experience at the highest level of the game make him a sure pick for RCB in the playing 12 during the tournament. 

1. Krunal Pandya

RCB spent ₹ 5.75 Cr to secure the services of Krunal Pandya. The Indian all-rounder can be an effective finisher for his team and also be important to the team with his left-arm spin overs in the middle phase of an innings. The fact that he is an Indian all-rounder who can influence the game in both innings means Krunal Pandya will be one of the all-rounders who features for RCB in most of the games during IPL 2025.
