<p><em>IPL 2022: 3 Players Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might retain ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.</em></p>



<p><strong>IPL 2022:</strong> The Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had a brilliant outing in the suspended Vivo IPL 2021. With the inclusion of a couple of key players on the side, the outfit has attained stability. Apart from winning back to back games, RCB had some encouraging signs which they will want to take forward.</p>



<p>The next IPL mega auction will be important for RCB and for their upcoming future. RCB always carries a surprise element in every auction. Last time the franchise retained Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers along with Sarfaraj Khan which was the surprise element.</p>



<p>Here in this article, we will discuss three players Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might retain before the IPL 2022 Auction takes place.</p>



<h2>3 Players Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might retain ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction:</h2>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Virat Kohli:</span></strong></h3>



<p>The name Virat Kohli is synonymous with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). There is no doubt in the retention of the RCB skipper. Virat is the only player in the history of the Indian Premier League to play all games for a single franchise.</p>



<p>He will be a first choice retention and was previously retained for a whopping INR 17 Crores, back in 2018.</p>



<p>He is also a run-machine, scoring most runs in the IPL history. Virat has scored 6076 runs in 199 IPL games which includes five centuries.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">AB de Villiers:</span></strong></h3>



<p>The Mr 360 of the cricketing world has been on fire ever since he bid adieu to international cricket. He had an impressive Vivo IPL 2021 and finished a couple of games for his side. He managed to seal two games on his own while batting.</p>



<p>After his exploits in the IPL, the Cricket South Africa (CSA) is pumped to reinstate AB de Villiers in the T20I side for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 and 2022.</p>



<p>De Villiers will surely be a second cricketer to get retained by the franchise knowing his abilities.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Mohammad Siraj:</span></strong></h3>



<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) used to retain Yuzvendra Chahal as the third retention however his inconsistency and a rough phase has paved the way for Mohammad Siraj to get retained.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Moreover, Siraj has been bowling sensationally over the last couple of months after the India-Australia test series last year. He has improved his lengths and is turning out to be a hard bowler to hit.</p>



<p>With his exploits in recent cricket, Siraj can now hit constant 140kmph and can bowl the tricky overs for RCB as well as for India.</p>



<p>All-rounder Washington Sundar could also be an option for the third choice retention however, Mohammad Siraj looks a formidable contender for the Royals this time.</p>

<p><em>IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might use the Right To Match Card (RTM) in IPL 2022 Mega Auction.</em></p>



<p><strong>IPL 2022: </strong>The Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) usually perform differently in the IPL auctions. They have a tendency to bring in new players from the Auction pool however this time they will be keen on retaining a couple of previous faces in the squad.</p>



<p>With the inclusion of some key players in the IPL 2021 Auction, RCB has somehow found the balance on the side and are doing well. They have the likes of Mohammad Siraj, Kyle Jamieson, Glenn Maxwell, Yuzvendra Chahal, Devdutt Padikkal, Harshal Patel who have done good in the IPL 2021.</p>



<p>Here in this article, we will discuss three players on whom the franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would want to use the Right To Match (RTM) card in the upcoming IPL 2022 Mega Auction.</p>

<h2>3 Players on whom Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might use the Right To Match Card (RTM):</h2>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Glenn Maxwell:</span></strong></h3>



<p>The Aussie all-rounder has liked to play alongside Virat Kohli and his idol AB de Villiers. Despite having a poor run in the IPL 2020 for Punjab Kings, the RCB showed faith in the cricketer and purchased him in the IPL 2021 auctions. Maxwell this time didn't let his new franchise down and scored crucial runs for the team.&nbsp;</p>



<p>He remained the top scorer for RCB in IPL 2021 with 223 runs in six innings. After donning the RCB colours, Maxwell has found his way to hit the ball in the IPL and the franchise would want to take his services in the coming years.</p>



<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might use the Right To Match (RTM) card on him in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Devdutt Padikkal:</span></strong></h3>



<p>The 21-years old southpaw, Devdutt Padikkal will be the first choice player to get retained either by using the retention policy or with the Right to Match card (RTM). Padikkal who hails from Karnataka is consistently contributing to the team's success.</p>



<p>Over the last couple of year?s, he has scored runs in bulk in the domestic circuits and has shattered many records. Padikkal has also smacked a brilliant ton against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2021.</p>



<p>He is a bright prospect for the franchise going ahead many more years. The management will surely back him and his services.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Harshal Patel:</span></strong></h3>



<p>Harshal Patel was traded by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from Delhi Capitals (DC) in an all-cash deal before the IPL 2021 Auction. It will be safe to say that he played a major role in RCB's success in the Vivo IPL 2021.</p>



<p>He was effective in death overs where he picked most of his wickets. In the now suspended Vivo IPL 2021, Harshal Patel scalped 17 wickets in just seven games which include a maiden five-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians.</p>



<p>With his exceptional death bowling skills, the franchise might retain him using the Right To Match card (RTM) in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions.</p>

<p>IPL 2022 Mega Auction is a two-day extravaganza that is scheduled to take place on the 13<sup>th</sup> and 14<sup>th</sup> of February in Bengaluru. Several players have listed their names for the auction. Several names have not put their names. Chris Gayle, Ben Stokes, and Sam Curran too have not listed their names. So, who are the available players, and what is their listed base price? Here is a look:</p>



<h2>Key Players Who Missed Out on the IPL Mega Auction:</h2>

Sir Ben Stokes has also not opted to put his name in the auction. Also, Sam Curran and Chris Woakes have opted out. The absence of these English Players is due to requests from the ECB. Sam Curran is going to work on a rehabilitation program for his fitness. Mitchell Starc was expected to put his name in but has opted out too.</p>

IPL 2022 Mega Auction Final List and Break Down of Players, Base Price, Overseas Players.

ipl-2022-mega-auction-final-list-and-break-down-of-players-base-price-overseas-players

<p>The captaincy for the Royal Challengers Bangalore is one thing to ponder upon for every IPL fan. After Virat decided to step down from the captaincy role in IPL 2022, there is a big void that is left to fill. However, the IPL 2022 Mega Auction will provide several options for RCB Captaincy. RCB has failed to get their hands on the trophy for many years now and Mike Hesson will be willing to change the same. This can be done by selecting an experienced leader. Here is a look at the available options:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Top Picks as RCB Captaincy Options:?</h2>



<h3>Shreyas Iyer:?</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fh1-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83038" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: CricAddictor</figcaption></figure>



<p>The top pick in the IPL Auction for any team is <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-teams-that-can-pick-shreyas-iyer-in-ipl-2022-mega-auction-if-not-ahmedabad/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Shreyas Iyer</a>. Iyer has previously had the lead role for the Delhi Capitals. Shreyas has worked with the likes of Sourav Ganguly, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/before-rahul-dravid-bcci-approached-ricky-ponting-for-team-indias-head-coach-role/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ricky Ponting</a>, and Mohammad Kaif. Being with such individuals has improved his critical thinking abilities and leadership skills too. He was successful with the Capitals, taking them to the IPL final. Being Indian gives him an added advantage. Moreover, Iyer can adjust himself in any batting order. He has the experience of opening the batting too. Iyer can certainly take up RCB Captaincy.?</p>



<h3>David Warner is option for RCB Captaincy:?</h3>



<p>The ?Pocket Size Dynamo? from Australia is a top captaincy choice. <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/david-warner-hits-back-at-srh-for-abruptly-dropping-him-from-the-team-in-ipl-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Warner</a> had a horrible season last year, but his performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 speaks volumes of his abilities. David Warner has won an IPL trophy for the Sunrisers Hyderabad back in 2016. Sunrisers Hyderabad enjoyed a good reign under the leadership of Warner. Warner has taken up leadership roles for the Australian National team as well. To manage personalities?such as Virat Kohli, you need a mentally strong individual and Warner is one such guy.?</p>



<h2>Outside Chance of RCB Captaincy:?</h2>



<h3>Shikhar Dhawan/Steve Smith: &nbsp;</h3>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan or Steve Smith are veterans of the game. Both the players have been playing for quite some time and can take up the leadership duty. Virat Kohli shares a good rapport with Shikhar as well. <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/shane-warne-discloses-smiths-answer-to-his-vice-captaincy-criticism/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steve Smith </a>has previously managed similar personalities like Kohli and can deal with the likes of Maxi. Both of them are at a perfect age as well. ?</p>



<h3>Jason Holder:?</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fh2-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83037" /><figcaption>Holder has recently worked on his batting skills. He can be used as a pinch hitter. IMG SRC:CricTracker</figcaption></figure>



<p>Jason Holder has been working with strong personalities in the West Indies team. Under his leadership Windies, cricket has been blooming and growing. Jason Holder has managed the likes of Kieron Pollard, Dre Russ, and Sunil Narine. Under the guidance of Mike Hesson, Holder can be an asset for RCB. He can bat number 7 and can assure you 4 good overs. ?</p>



<h3>Manish Pandey:&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Manish Pandey has been associated with Virat Kohli since their under-19 days. The boys have worked and grown together. To manage youngsters like Siraj, Pandey is a good option for RCB Captaincy. Manish Pandey has improved the level of the Karnataka Cricket. Karnataka has given India gems like Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna, Karun Nair, and Devdutt Padikkal. All of the above-mentioned players have grown under the guidance of Manish Pandey. ?</p>

<p><span>IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span></p>
<p><span>India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.</span></p>
<p><span>Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

<p><span>The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February.

<p><span>After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter.

<p><span>India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</span></span></h2>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.</span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Rohit Sharma (C)</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Babar Azam</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3: Virat Kohli</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the greatest players when it comes to limited overs cricket, Virat Kohli is considered the greatest in the format, while his fearless approach often frightens any bowling attack in the world. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Virat Kohli is nearing the great landmark of 14000 ODI runs in international cricket, as he for now has a total of 13,906 runs to his name with an average of 58.18, including 50 centuries and 72 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>4: Shreyas Iyer</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer"><strong>Shreyas Iyer </strong></a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>5: Mohammad Rizwan</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790661050c16.jpg" alt="" width="763" height="475"></span></p>
<p><span>New Pakistan skipper - Mohammad Rizwan (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan fins his name in this combined playing XI for India and Pakistan. The currently named skipper of the Pakistan limited-overs side, has produced results after his immediate effect.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammad Rizwan has scored a total of 2,352 runs with an average of 41.26, including 3 centuries and 15 fifties, however, he is one of the most standout players for Pakistan in the middle-order. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>6: Hardik Pandya</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya"><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></a> has been the asset for the Indian side, winning matches on several occasions. Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>7: Shadab Khan</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shadab Khan, the Leg-spin bowling all-rounder has been a crucial player for the Pakistan cricket team in recent times.Though Shadab Khan has not featured much for Pakistan in recent times, his services have been relished by the nation when it comes to limited-overs cricket. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>8: Kuldeep Yadav</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 172 wickets for the Indian side with an economy of just 4.99.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shaheen Shah Afridi has seemingly restored his form after his work stress was reduced, as the pacer has this supreme ability to swing the new ball on both sides. For Pakistan, Shaheen has been a proven matchwinner in several high-profile games in ICC tournaments.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>10: Jasprit Bumrah</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>11: Mohammed Shami</span><span></span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679066d186630.jpg" alt="" width="779" height="485"></span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Mohammed Shami, the most experienced right-arm fast bowler for India, is set to feature in the upcoming Champions Trophy, as he has never featured for the Indian team ever since the last Cricket World Cup in 2023, where he was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammed Shami has clinched a total of 195 wickets for the men in blue with an economy of 5.55.</span></p>
