As the Indian Premier League (IPL) approaches its 2025 mega auction, speculations are rife that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will retain promising left-arm pacer Yash Dayal.

RCB to retain Yash Dayal for IPL 2025

Here are three compelling reasons why RCB could secure Dayal’s services ahead of the IPL 2025 auction:

1. Uncapped status offers financial flexibility

Yash Dayal’s recent exclusion from the Indian Test squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand has left him uncapped in international cricket. According to IPL retention rules, this status allows RCB to retain him at a lower price of ₹4 crore, down from the ₹5 crore they paid last season. Retaining Dayal as an uncapped player not only provides financial relief but also enables RCB to allocate funds to strengtꦇhen other areas of their squad. This strategic advantage is crucial in a competitive environment where budget management is key to assembling a balanced team.

2. Strong performance in IPL 2024

Dayal had an impressive IPL 2024 season, taking 15 wickets in 14 matches and emerging as one of RCB’s leading bowlers. His standout moment came when he dismissed MS Dhoni in a high-pressure situation, helping secure a vital win against Chennai Super Kings, which ultimately led RCB to the playoffs. His ability to deliver under pressure and take crucial wickets makes him an invaluable asset for the team. Retaining a player who has already proven himself in the IPL can significantly bolster RCB’s bowling attack as they aim for their first title.

3. Potential for growth and development

At just 26 years old, Dayal represents a blend of y♏outhful talent and experience that RCB can further develop. His left-arm b♈owling style adds diversity to the squad, especially on pitches that favour seam movement. With time and guidance, Dayal has the potential to evolve into one of the premier fast bowlers in the league. The IPL has historically been a platform for young players to refine their skills, and RCB can provide Dayal with the necessary environment to flourish.
