IPL 2025: 3 Masterstrokes that helped RCB qualify for playoffs

2. Backing Indian players

There is no doubt that RCB have been known to have included some big-name international players, but apart from the legendary Virat Kohli they have been known to back more foreigners than local players in their team. This has been one of the rare seasons when they have put a lot of trust in the Indian players, who have contributed considerably to the side.

Apart from backing Rajat Patidar as the new skipper, the likes of Krunal Pandya, Devdutt Padikkal and Yash Dayal have also got a chance to prove themselves during the crucial stages. This has been one of the major changes the side has brought in the tournament, which seems to be making a major impact as well.
