IPL 2025: 3 Reasons Why RCB Wants Badly Washington Sundar

IPL 2025

As the IPL 2025 approaches, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finds itself at a pivotal moment, having retained cricketing stalwart Virat Kohli for a hefty 21 Cr, alongside Rajat Patidar at 11 Cr, and the promising Yash Dayal for 5 Cr. This strategic move by RCB not only underscores their commitment to a blend of experience and youth but also sets the stage for a fresh start. Amidst this backdrop, the spotlight turns to Washington Sundar, an all-rounder whose stock has risen significantly, especially after his stunning performance against New Zealand in Test cricket. Here’s why RCB is so eager to have him on board:

1. The All-Rounder Advantage: In the fast-paced world of T20 cricket, the value of an all-rounder cannot be overstated. Washington Sundar embodies this role perfectly. His ability to bowl off-spin with precision, combined with his knack for scoring crucial runs, makes him an asset in any format. For RCB, who have often struggled with their bowling depth, Sundar’s inclusion could mean a significant boost. His performances, especially under pressure, have shown he can adapt his game according to the match situation, whether it’s holding one end up with the bat or breaking partnerships with the ball.

2. Performance Against New Zealand: Sundar’s recent Test match heroics against New Zealand have not gone unnoticed. His ability to score runs in tough conditions and bowl with discipline against a formidable batting lineup highlights his readiness for high-pressure games. This performance is not just a testament to his skill but also his temperament, which is crucial for a team like RCB aiming to go all the way in IPL 2025. His century in the Test match was not just about the runs but how he managed the innings, showing a maturity beyond his years.

3. Building for the Future: With IPL teams increasingly looking at sustainability and building teams for the long haul, Sundar fits perfectly into RCB’s vision. At his age, he represents not just immediate value but also a long-term investment. His experience with different teams in the IPL, coupled with his international exposure, means he brings a wealth of knowledge and adaptability. For RCB, which has been criticized for its inconsistent team selections, having a player like Sundar could provide the stability and continuity they’ve been seeking.

Washington Sundar’s potential acquisition by RCB for IPL 2025 isn’t just about filling a gap in the team; it’s about setting a new direction. His all-round capabilities, proven by his performance against New Zealand, make him a hot property in the IPL auction. For RCB, he represents not just a tactical advantage but also a strategic long-term investment. As RCB looks to turn the page with Kohli, Patidar, and Dayal as its core, adding Sundar could well be the masterstroke needed to challenge for the IPL title. His blend of youth, skill, and experience could be the catalyst RCB needs to finally lift the elusive trophy, making his acquisition not just desirable but essential for their ambitions in IPL 2025.
