For IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore made some big changes in the squad. Their biggest change was in the leadership, as Rajat Patidar was declared their new leader. The team management has come up with the right combination of players. Their top order is working out wonders for the team, and RCB has an economical bowling unit.

In this article, we bring you a list of the top players for RCB and their qualification scenario for the playoffs.

IPL 2025 - Top Players of RCB

1) Virat Kohli

India’s modern-day legend, Virat Kohli, has proved it once again proved why he is a run-scoring machine in the history of the Indian Premier League. Since the start of the league, Virat Kohli has played an important role for the team on multiple occasions and has come out as a backbone for the team. He is currently the highest run-scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore and the 4th highest run-scorer in the league. As the league restarts on Saturday, Virat Kohli will play an important role in reestablishing the winning momentum for RCB.
 

2) Josh Hazlewood

Every penny spent by Royal Challengers Bangalore on Josh Hazlewood is getting paid off well in the ongoing season of IPL. He has been in positive form since the start of the league and has been the leading wicket-taker for the team. Josh Hazlewood also stands as the 3rd highest wicket-taker in the league. There are doubts about his participation in the last phase of the league because of a minor injury and the World Test Championship final coming after a week from the IPL final, but if he is part of the team, nothing can stop RCB from reaching the playoffs.
 

3) Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya has been a surprise package in IPL, and he has been a top name at the best betting apps. Since the start of the league, Krunal Pandya has been a key bowler for the team during the 2nd spell. He comes in with an agenda to break the settled partnerships of the opposition and delivers successfully. It has happened that on some occasions, Krunal has come out as an expensive bowler, but he still manages to scalp wickets under pressure.
 

4) Devdutt Padikkal

Devdutt Padikkal is a flexible player for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He is known to anchor the innings at the top order, and he also manages to do the same job at number 4 in the middle order. He is currently the 2nd highest run-scorer for the team and can play a crucial role for the team once the league restarts.

Qualification Scenario of RCB for IPL 2025

Royal Challengers Bangalore have already collected 16 points in the point table. They are currently in the 2nd spot and are left to play three matches at the league stage. If they win a single game in the league, nothing can stop them from making it to the playoffs. On the other hand, if Royal Challengers Bangalore wins all three fixtures, they will end up at the top of the point table, and that will add an extra advantage for the team.
