Top 3 batters of RCB before IPL 2025 suspension

Royal Challengers Bengaluru had one of the greatest IPL seasons after 2016, with a great chance of being in the playoffs. After many years the RCB squad looked solid like a tank and their death bowling was exceptional with a more experienced lineup of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal and Josh Hazlewood. They are one of the favourites to win the trophy this year.

But T20 is always a batter’s game, and the RCB squad has some of the best batters in the world. The Bengaluru based IPL team won many crucial matches only because of some great innings from their main batters and let us see the top 3 batters of RCB.

Top 3 batters of RCB before IPL 2025 suspension

1. Virat Kohli

As expected, the King is still the best batter for Royal challengers bengaluru. For 18 years he is with the franchise and is carrying the team’s batting order on his shoulders. Even this year he was outstanding with his run scoring rate and played some crucial knocks to help his team win the match. 

Kohli played a magnificent knock against top teams like KKR, DC and PBKS which gave RCB the big chance at the playoffs. With his guidance and batting help RCB can break the jinx this year and win the trophy for Bengaluru.

2. Tim David

The big man from Australia, Tim David’s arrival is a turning point for the Royal challengers. They bought him at the 2024 auction and he has become a ball wrecking machine. His powerful knocks against Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are another level. If he keeps the same kind of mindset and hitting ability till the end of this season, he could be a big factor for RCB lifting the IPL trophy.

3. Phil Salt

The English opener is all needed for RCB over the last few years. The team just got revamped after the 2024 season, and Phil Salt was brought in as the new opener for the team to play alongside Kohli. His impactful innings, especially in the powerplays, are helping the team go big and post a huge total or chase a big total very easily. His quick innings at a great strike rate is helping Virat Kohli to carry the batting order without any pressure.
