    "editor1": "RCB Virat Kohli: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have announced that they have retained talismanic batter Virat Kohli (INR 21 crore), top-order batter Rajat Patidar (INR 11 crore), and uncapped left-arm fast-bowler Yash Dayal (INR 5 crore) ahead of IPL 2025.<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all too aware of the need to establish a strong Indian core to our team going into the 2025 IPL season, and we feel that our retention decisions are a significant step in the right direction. It\u2019s great to continue Virat\u2019s lengthy association with RCB, I\u2019m confident that a new group of players will benefit hugely from his inspirational and infectious energy, and his commitment to high standards,\u201d said Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at RCB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>RCB have chosen not to retain their captain Faf du Plessis, all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Will Jacks, as well as fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. \u201cIt\u2019s also great to secure both Rajat and Yash, two excellent players that offer relatively unique skills and abilities. In Yash\u2019s case, as an uncapped player, he also represents outstanding financial value.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always sad to release players, given the strength of relationships that are built and the many shared achievements and memories, and I wish all departing players well. As for us, we now commence our auction preparations having retained top Indian talent, whilst also giving ourselves both options and flexibility with our three remaining RTMs, and a healthy available purse. It should be fun!\u201d added Bobat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking further on retaining Dayal, who\u2019s in India\u2019s T20I team for the upcoming series against South Africa and Patidar, who made his Test debut earlier this year, head coach Andy Flower explained the rationale behind it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to retain Yash Dayal, an extraordinary talent whose career is on an upward trajectory. His unique ability as a left-arm bowler, capable of swinging the ball in both directions, adds a valuable dimension to our bowling attack\u2014one that is increasingly rare in the auction landscape.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking further on retaining Dayal, who\u2019s in India\u2019s T20I team for the upcoming series against South Africa and Patidar, who made his Test debut earlier this year, head coach Andy Flower explained the rationale behind it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
