Former South African cricketer and one of the great players of RCB, AB de Villiers has described the Bengaluru team as the best in the IPL 2025 auction, but during this he also pointed out a major shortcoming of this team. De Villiers also told who can become the next captain of RCB. He also expressed some disappointment over R Ashwin and Kagiso Rabada not joining RCB. But de Villiers said the biggest thing about the spinners of RCB team. De Villiers said that there is no spinner in the team who can turn the ball in both directions.
RCB’s biggest shortcoming
AB de Villiers said, ‘We missed taking R Ashwin. CSK bought him, I am happy to see him in the yellow jersey. but I’m happy. There is balance in the RCB team but we are missing a match-winning spinner. Hopefully, we will be successful in maintaining the balance of our team as per Chinnaswamy. De Villiers further said, ‘I think we will miss a spinner who can turn the ball both ways. We seem to be a little behind here. Hopefully IPL and BCCI open the transfer window so that we can transfer. You will be able to take an extra spinner. It is possible that he is a wrist spinner. Either you go to the unsold list. We will have to think about it.
rcb spinners
RCB has bought only 3 spinners in the IPL 2025 auction. It has left arm spinners Swapnil Singh and Krunal Pandya. The third name is Suyyash Sharma. By the way, the bowler De Villiers is talking about could be Suyyash Sharma. Suyyash Sharma is a leg spinner who can turn the ball both ways. Apart from this, Liam Livingston is also a player who can spin the ball both ways. However, the problem here is that Suyyash does not have much experience of playing in Chinnaswamy. Krunal Pandya, Swapnil Singh also cannot turn the ball much. Also, Livingston is a part-time bowler. Now it remains to be seen how RCB performs with its new team in IPL 2025.
