The 2025 season of Indian Premier League (IPL) is yet another chance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to win the title. Rajat Patidar who has been named as the captain of the side has a great mix of Indian and overseas players. Yet again Virat Kohli will be seen leading the batting as he opens the batting with Phil Salt.
The bowling unit has names like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Nuwan Thushara in the pace department. As far as the spinners go, the likes of Suyash Sharma, Krunal Pandya, and Swapnil Singh will be playing a huge role. RCB will be hoping that they can use the Impact Player rule to good use during the course of the season.
Here are the top 3 potential impact players for RCB in IPL 2025 season
3. Rasikh Salam Dar

Former Delhi Capitals seam bowler Rasikh Salam Dar has been one of the best young bowlers in the IPL. The right-arm pacer has the ability to bowl with a steady speed and also has a very good slower ball. Rasikh will be a great impact player because he can bowl well in the second half of the innings once the ball gets old. His deceptive slower ball has put many batters in trouble and the youngster uses the delivery well to claim wickets.
2. Swapnil Singh

Veteran left-arm spinner and batter Swapnil Singh has been one of the most consistent players in India’s domestic circuit. RCB decided to rope in Swapnil Singh after his amazing performances for the side last season. Swapnil has the ability to bowl well in the middle of the innings with his genuine flight in the air and turn off the wicket. With the bat, the Swapnil can give the ball a good whack in the final few overs of the innings and score key runs for his side.
1. Devdutt Padikkal

Young Indian batter Devdutt Padikkal makes his return to Bengaluru after spending a few seasons away from his home ground. The left-handed batter can be a great addition as an impact player in case RCB is looking for depth in their batting order. Padikkal can not only open the batting but also slot himself in the middle-order and can play according to the situation.
