He is at the top in this list of players who can lead RCB to winning the IPL 2025 title as he has made 505 runs in 11 matches with high levels of consistency and has earned an average of 63.13 and a strike rate of 143.47 for RCB in IPL 2025.

Phil Salt:
He is in this list of players who can lead RCB to winning the IPL 2025 title as he has made 239 runs in 9 matches, at 168.31 strike rate in IPL 2025 period followed by his fast hitting approach and his ability to change the scenario. By scoring with two 50s and giving a good score of 65, he has been a valuable support to RCB in the decisive middle order period of matches. Although his average of 26.56 means that he does not always play consistently, the fact that he is able to play with aggression and turn matches shows that he is necessary to the team. If he continues to be able to contribute game-changer innings at key moments, he can be very much instrumental in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s pursuit of this year’s IPL crown.
Suyash Sharma:
He is in this list of players who can lead RCB to winning the IPL 2025 title as he has only bowled 4 wickets in 10 matches, but this bowler has been pivotal in RCB’s bowling system in IPL 2025. His role in 234 deliveries conceded 322 runs at an economy of 8.26 has seen him contain the opponent’s runs throughout the match’s crucial times. While it doesn’t suggest a bed of roses with the ball, his low average (80.50) and strike rate (58.50) have enabled teammates to make the most of their hits. If he also added breakthroughs to his impressive tight spells, he could be a valued contributor in RCB’s quest for their first IPL championship.
Romario Shepherd:
He is in this list of players who can lead RCB to winning the IPL 2025 title as with a meagre appearance in 4 matches he has showcased to be an explosive batter and has jumped into prominence to became a very important player that may be the difference for RCB to win their first IPL title especially after his last innings against CSK where he scored 53 runs off just 14 balls, including six sixes and four boundaries, to help RCB reach 213/5. With a hot 53 runs through an electrifying strike rate of 378.57, he has shown ability to swiftly turn the scale in RCB’s game in their favour. That 53 runs and that crucial half century would point out his strategic worth and if he gets more playing time in the remaining games his acuity in tight games may be to the advantage.
