RCB Full Squad, IPL 2025: England all-rounder Liam Livingstone became RCB’s first signing at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, having bought his services for a sum of Rs 8.75 crore. RCB were involved in a bidding war with SRH, CSK and DC for the acquisition of Livingstone, who was released by PBKS ahead of the auction.
