The IPL 2024 came to an end with the Kolkata Knight Riders winning their third title. As the action shifts into the next season, the league will see a mega-auction taking place. There will expectedly a lot of changes in the equations and dynamics of the teams. 

Virat Kohli has been a legend for the RCB and has been a part of the set-up since the inception of the tournament. There are little chances that the franchise will release their icon ahead of IPL 2025. However, let us delve into an hypothetical situation where RCB releases Virat Kohli and find out what might happen then. 


RCB to target another poster boy

The biggest USP of the RCB franchise has been the stars that they have generally accumulated in their squads over the years. The likes of Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, and Anil Kumble have graced the squad over the years. Among these galaxy of stars, Virat Kohli has been the one who has shone the brightest. Now, if RCB releases the Kohli, they will searching for a new poster boy who can add more value to brand RCB. 

Potential targets for RCB

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is thought to be the next poster boy of Indian cricket too. So, if RCB releases Virat Kohli they might be looking to pick up Gill and add to their brand value if he is available. 

Rishabh Pant 

The Indian wicket-keeper batter is also future star. There are chances that Rishabh Pant might be released by DC, in that case he could also be a great addition to the RCB scheme of things. 

Suryakumar Yadav 

Although there are very little chances that MI will release their star player, RCB might target if it at all happens. Suryakumar Yadav is the current skipper of the Indian team and hence buying him will surely add to the brand value of the franchise. 

KL Rahul 

 With KL Rahul having rumoured problems with the LSG owners, there are chances that he will be available in the market. If this happens, then KL Rahul being a local boy and one of the future stars of Indian cricket could be a great addition to RCB.
