RCB Title-winning Hero Acquired For INR 15 Lakhs in Delhi Premier League 2025 Auction
Suyash Sharma’s recruitment by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 was a masterstroke. The Delhi legspinner proved his credentials as a key player in the first match of the season itself.
Against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Suyash got smacked in 41 runs in his first three overs but spurred into action at the right time when he castled dangerous Andre Russell with a brilliant googly which restricted KKR to a total of 174/8 in 20 overs when 200-plus looked very much possible.

As the season progressed, Suyash’s spells became more effective as RCB challenged for a top finish in the points table.
He was particularly effective in the league match as Mullanpur against Punjab Kings with a brilliant 2-26 where he sent back big-hitters Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis as RCB won the match by seven wickets.
The 22-year-old came back to haunt PBKS once again in the Qualifier 1 with a stunning 3-17 as RCB restricted Shreyas Iyer’s side for 101 all out and won by eight wickets.
