RCB Full Squad, IPL 2025: England all-rounder Liam Livingstone became RCB’s first signing at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, having bought his services for a sum of Rs 8.75 crore. RCB were involved in a bidding war with SRH, CSK and DC for the acquisition of Livingstone, who was released by PBKS ahead of the auction.

It isn’t yet known who the franchise will appoint as captain next season, though the rumours of Virat Kohli taking up the slot are going on.
