Virat Kohli: The 18th season of IPL 2025 is going to start from March 22. Kolkata's Eden Gardens will witness the first match of this season where a great match will take place. RCB and KKR will face each other in the first match of IPL. While KKR has won the IPL title three times, RCB has not won the IPL title till date.

In the IPL auction, RCB changed the entire team except two players, while Virat Kohli has been looking for his first IPL trophy for the last 18 years and this time four such players have come in the team who can fulfill his team and Kohli's dream of IPL trophy.

1. Rajat Patidar

RCB's new captain and ace batsman Rajat Patidar would have never thought that one day he would get a chance to lead the team. He will try his best to make this responsibility and opportunity a winning one and can prove to be a big role in fulfilling Virat Kohli's dream of winning the IPL trophy. Apart from Kohli, he is the second cricketer on whom the franchise expressed confidence and retained before the auction.

2.Phil Salt

England team's best opener Phil Salt will open with Virat Kohli this time. While playing for the KKR team, this player has won the hearts and trophies of the fans with many flamboyant innings. This time there is a chance to win the title for the new team and fulfill the dream of India's most popular batsman Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Phil Salt has been bought by RCB for 11.50 crores.

3.Tim David

Australia's best all-rounder Tim David is not only adept at scoring runs in the top and middle order, but is also capable of making an impact with his bowling. He has done this many times while in Mumbai Indians. This time RCB has bought him for Rs 3 crore and David will try his best to play an important role in fulfilling the unfulfilled dream of Virat Kohli and RCB.

3. Josh Hazlewood

Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who played a big role in Australia winning the title in the last ODI World Cup, could not play the Champions Trophy due to injury. But now he is fully fit and he will be the main bowler of the RCB team. His sharp bowling can end Virat Kohli's thirst for the trophy by giving RCB its first title. He has joined RCB once again, this time the team has bought him for Rs 12.50 crore.
