AB de Villiers on RCB: De Villiers told RCB's biggest shortcoming, the team will have to be changed in the middle of the IPL

Former South African cricketer and one of the great RCB players, AB de Villiers, has described the Bangalore team as the best in the IPL 2025 auction, but during this time he also pointed out a big shortcoming of this team. De Villiers also told who could become the next captain of RCB. He also expressed some disappointment over R Ashwin and Kagiso Rabada not joining RCB. But de Villiers said the biggest thing about the spinners of the RCB team. De Villiers said that there is no spinner in the team who can turn the ball both ways.

The biggest weakness of RCB

AB de Villiers said, 'We missed out on getting R Ashwin. CSK bought him, I am happy to see him in the yellow jersey. But I am happy. RCB's team has balance but we are missing a match-winning spinner. Hopefully we will be able to keep the balance of our team according to Chinnaswamy.' De Villiers further said, 'I think we will miss a spinner who turns the ball both ways. We are lagging a bit here. Hopefully the IPL and BCCI open the transfer window so that we can transfer. You will be able to get an additional spinner. It is possible that he is a wrist spinner. Either you go to the unsold list. We have to think about it.'

RCB spinners

RCB has bought only 3 spinners in the IPL 2025 auction. These include left arm spinner Swapnil Singh and Krunal Pandya. The third name is Suyash Sharma. By the way, the bowler that de Villiers is talking about could be Suyash Sharma. Suyash Sharma is a leg spinner who can turn the ball on both sides. Apart from this, Liam Livingstone is also a player who can spin the ball on both sides. However, the problem here is that Suyash does not have much experience of playing in Chinnaswamy. Krunal Pandya, Swapnil Singh also cannot turn the ball much. Also, Livingstone is a part-time bowler. Now it remains to be seen how RCB performs in IPL 2025 with its new team.
