Royal Challengers Bangalore’s decision to let go of Mohammed Siraj and Will Jacks ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction has stirred significant reactions across social media. Siraj, a pivotal seamer for RCB, was released due to his high auction price, with Dinesh Karthik confirming the franchise’s intent but emphasizing the need for strategic spending to maintain balance.
