IPL 2025 Mega Auction Present Fresh Set Of Challenges For Royal Challengers Bengaluru & Punjab Kings

The retention rules announced ahead of IPL 2025 Mega Auctions has made the situation tricky for all the ten IPL franchises. All the ten franchises need to build a team for the next three years and they will need to take some tough decisions. After Shikhar Dhawan's retirement, Punjab Kings will be on the hunt to get a new captain with Ricky Pointed being appointed as their Head Coach. Royal Challengers Bengaluru on the other hand have remained tight-lipped on the Faf du Plessis situation. If RCB part ways with Faf, then they too will want to buy a new captain in the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. A maximum of six players can be retained ahead of the mega auctions that includes the Right To Match card too.
