Royal Challengers Bengaluru: While all the focus of IPL teams has been on planning their IPL 2025 mega auction strategy, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have also been building up the potential and skills of their current players in both men’s and women’s teams.
"Our camps are about more than just player evaluation—they're about building potential. By analysing current players and inviting promising talent from across the country, we form a solid team structure and boost every player’s game. It isn’t something that happens only once a year; we try to do it as many times as possible,” said Malolan Rangarajan, RCB head of scouting and assistant coach in women’s team, in a franchise statement.
One of the big examples coming out of players benefitting from RCB pre-season camps has been right-handed batter Rajat Patidar, who made his India ODI debut in South Africa in December 2023 and went on to make a Test debut this year against England.
