Homecoming for Mayank Agarwal as he returns to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the remainder of the ongoing IPL 2025, replacing the injured Devdutt Padikkal. Padikkal sustained an injury to his right hamstring and hence, his participation this season has been cut short. In 10 matches, he scored 247 runs, including two fifties.
Mayank Agarwal has experience playing in 127 IPL matches, scoring 2,661 runs, including one century and 13 fifties. While announcing, RCB shared a post on social media that read: āAfter 12 long years, ā where he belongs. Happy #HomeComing, Mayank. 12th Man Army will be on top of the moon hearing this, and theyāll all be right behind you.ā
Here is the shared tweet:

RCB have paid 1 Crore for Mayank Agarwal
Mayank began his IPL journey with RCB back in 2011. He was a part of the franchise until 2013. Then, he played for different teams like Delhi Daredevils (currently known as Delhi Capitals, 2014ā2016), Rising Pune Super Giants (2017), Punjab Kings (2018ā2022), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (2023ā2024). He even captained PBKS, but unfortunately, he did not find any takers in the IPL 2025 auction earlier.
Now, RCB have paid ā¹1 crore to acquire his services. āItās really unfortunate to lose Devdutt at this stage of the tournament, especially after the impact heās had this season. Heās been a key part of our top order. We wish him a speedy recovery. At the same time, weāre pleased to welcome Mayank Agarwal to RCB. His experience and versatility will prove valuable for us as we head into the business end of the season,ā said Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket, RCB.
