Cricket analysts and fans are criticizing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for their poor showing at the IPL 2025 super auction. On social networking sites like X, their cautious approach has sparked constant mocking and extensive criticism, especially during the marquee player rounds.

Those who questioned the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's strategies during the IPL 2025 mega auction have retaliated. The team has urged its supporters to have faith in its preparation and strategy. Following the conclusion of the second set, the franchise took to X to reassure the fans that they had plans and would try to carry them out.

RCB strategy for IPL 2025:

Despite having the second-largest purse of Rs 83 crore going into the auction, RCB missed the chance to sign big-name players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Mitchell Starc, which sparked the uproar. When RCB decided not to activate the Right to Match (RTM) option for Mohammed Siraj, who was traded to Gujarat Titans for Rs 12.25 crore, fans were especially perplexed. Supporters were incensed at the decision to fire Siraj, a franchise star on the field.

The franchise captioned a post saying, "All is not done, we have plenty of plans (and purse) left. Keep Calm and Trust the Planning." Fans and supporters were updated by the franchise, which also shared another post with a caption. The caption said, "Staying calm because we have got plans."

The team's cautious bidding in the marquee rounds just served to stoke the flames. Only England all-rounder Liam Livingstone was acquired by RCB due to their cautious spending strategy rather than their active pursuit of elite players. This was viewed by many supporters as a lost chance to bolster the squad for the forthcoming campaign.

Many were astonished by RCB's frugal expenditure throughout the marquee rounds, despite having the second-largest purse in the auction at Rs 83 crore. It was anticipated that RCB would make audacious moves at the high-stakes auction, but their cautious approach has left supporters wondering about the team's ambitions for the forthcoming campaign.
