Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have kicked off preparations for IPL 2025 with a pre-season camp at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The camp is part of RCB’s effort to clinch their first IPL title. Key players like Krunal Pandya, Rajat Patidar, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar joined the sessions, but Virat Kohli was absent. Kohli is currently playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He is rumoured to return as captain after Faf du Plessis’ exit. Jitesh Sharma hit a few good sixes while batting.
