The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally won the IPL 2025 after 18 years of wait. The team defeated Punjab Kings and clinched a victory by 6 wickets in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, the side showcased a well balanced squad with lethal bowling and batting attack.

But ahead of the IPL 2026 auction, there are a few players who are likely to be released by the franchise.

Liam Livingstone

The strong all-rounder from England was one of most expensive buys for RCB but his 2025 season turned out to be very disappointing. Touted for the middle order, Livingstone’s cameos turned out to be short and he just managed to score 112 runs in 9 matches with a dismal average of 16.
