Smaran has played numerous matches in Bengaluru, which could be beneficial if RCB chooses him as an injury replacement for IPL 2025. The Chinnaswamy Stadium has short boundaries, so it is a suitable ground for aggressive batters like him. With his current form, he might be a good choice for RCB in the upcoming season.
