Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are already planning to beef up their team for next year after ending an 18-year wait with the victory in the IPL 2025 championship. They are set to release some of their major players, such as Liam Livingstone and Rashika Salam, as part of their RCB released players 2026. Let’s have a look at the RCB released players 2026 top 5. These signings indicate the preparation of RCB for next year and maintain alive winning streak.
RCB acquired Liam Livingstone for ₹8.75 crore, yet he failed to deliver as anticipated in IPL 2025. He scored a total of 112 runs in 10 innings with a highest of 54 against the Gujarat Titans. His other knocks were chiefly low scores, and he also didn’t bowl extensively, ending the season with only 2 wickets in 4 games. As a result of this lack of bat-and-ball consistency, he is one of the names in the RCB released players 2026 list.

Rasikh Salam Dar was acquired by RCB for ₹6 crore before IPL 2025 but managed to feature in just two matches. He conceded 35 runs in the two games and took only 1 wicket. With limited opportunity and little to no impact, he is one of the players in the RCB released players 2026 list. With such a sum of money, it may be smarter to spend on some other promising Indian material.
Suyash Sharma was selected by RCB for ₹2.6 crore in the IPL 2025 player auction. He received a fair share of opportunities, playing 14 games. His best game came against Punjab Kings during qualifier 1 when he took 3 wickets for merely 17 runs. He also took 2 wickets in another game. However, in most games, he went wicketless and was quite expensive, especially against teams like CSK and SRH. Despite a couple of good spells, he struggled with consistency, which is why he finds himself in the RCB released players 2026 list.
Nuwan Thushara was acquired by RCB for ₹1.60 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. He received only one game, during which he took 1 wicket for 26 runs against Lucknow Super Giants. With minimal opportunities and a negligible contribution, he will most probably be included in the RCB released players 2026.
RCB chose to keep Yash Dayal for ₹5 crore before the IPL 2025 auction, which indicated that they believed in him to perform well. Throughout the season, he featured in 10 matches, in which he obtained 13 wickets, while the best outing was against Punjab Kings, in which he picked 2 wickets for 26 runs. The bowler had several games without picking up wickets while conceding vital runs during key moments. His bowling average reached 45.1, which shows his failure to perform consistently. The combination of his high price and variable results makes him a likely candidate for the RCB released players 2026 list.
