Virat Kohli and Yash Dayal were RCB’s best players with bat and ball

Virat Kohli was the team’s top player with 741 runs in 15 matches and also won the purple cap. He scored 1 century and 5 half-centuries at an average of 61+ and strike rate of 154+.

Faf du Plessis also supported him well, making 438 runs in 15 games at a strike rate of 161+. In the bowling department, Yash Dayal and Mohammed Siraj were the main wicket-takers for the team with 15 scalps. The rest of the players could not cross 10 wickets in total.

Therefore, RCB’s huge success in the last season was due to Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis in the batting area and Siraj and Dayal in the bowling area. Therefore, they could make many changes to their team during the IPL 2025 auction. An entirely new contingent could play under the leadership of Faf du Plessis in IPL 2025.
