The English trio of Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell have reached Bengaluru ahead of the RCB vs KKR IPL 2025 match. The return of the English trio is set to boost RCB’s chances of finally lifting their maiden IPL trophy.
RCB gets major boost ahead of KKR clash
It must be mentioned that Salt, Livingstone, and Bethell are key players in the RCB lineup, as they bring a mix of explosive batting and all-round capabilities. Wicketkeeper-batter Salt is known for his aggressive batting in the field restrictions, which could provide the team with quick starts, while Livingstone’s versatility as a power-hitter and occasional bowler makes him a valuable asset. Bethell, a promising young talent, has shown glimpses of brilliance and could be a wildcard in RCB’s strategy.
The ongoing IPL 2025 edition had to be stopped due to the cross-border tensions, but with the tournament set to resume on May 17, RCB will be eager to regain momentum. The upcoming RCB vs KKR IPL match marks a crucial phase in their campaign, as they aim to solidify their position in the points table.
However, the availability of these English players for the entire remainder of the tournament remains uncertain. England’s upcoming ODI series against the West Indies, starting May 29, could see some of them departing early for national duties. This potential conflict between club and country commitments adds an extra layer of intrigue to RCB’s squad planning.
