IPL 2026 Auction: 3 Explosive Batters RCB Can Target From Vidarbha T20 2025 – Cricket.com

Jitesh Sharma-led NECO Master Blaster just won the 2025 edition of the Vidarbha Pro T20 League, which culminated a season that was full of some powerful batting displays. 
Featuring local players from Vidarbha, the league that was being played in Nagpur became the stage where most of these players expressed themselves in a televised game for the first time. 
Let’s look at three such swashbuckling batters from the league whose hitting would have impressed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) management, who would look to add to their Indian batting firepower and also invest for the future. 

Bisht is just 21, but is an extremely clean hitter of the cricket ball already and showed everyone his prowess in the VPLT20 playing for the Bharat Rangers. Batting in the middle to lower middle order for his side, the young batter who also bowls good off-spin, scored 138 runs in six innings at a superb strike rate of 212.3. 
His strike rate was the highest in the league for batters with a cut-off of 120 runs. Jitesh is second on that list. 

Daga is just 25, but is already turning heads in the Vidarbha circuit. He scored 178 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 171.2, opening the batting for NECO Master Blasters, who eventually won the league. The left-hand batter has a very fast bat swing, and that helps him get the required power in his shots. 

Malewar rose to fame when he scored a century in the Ranji Trophy final against Kerala recently, and showed that he has solid technique and temperament to score at the level of first-class cricket in India. The 22-year-old continued the same in VPLT20 and scored 318 runs at a strike rate of 161.4 and averaged 79.5 with the bat. 
He also scored a century in the league for his team Bharat Rangers, and that score of 120* off 55 is the highest score of the competition. He was second on the list of highest run scores as well, despite playing a game fewer than the finalist teams.
