Three-time IPL finalists, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have played three finals (2009, 2011, and 2016) and five playoff matches (2010, 2015, 2020, 2021, and 2022). Despite this, they have yet to win a single IPL title. After all, there are a lot of reasons for this debacle. One of them could be inconsistent team selection across two seasons and many more. Meanwhile, in this listicle, we will have a look at three players who shouldn’t have been released by the team.
Three players who shouldn’t have been released by RCB for IPL 2024 player auction
1. Shahbaz Ahmed
The left-hander all-rounder, who has also played a few white-ball games for India, has been traded by an inexperienced all-rounder, Mayank Dagar from Sunrisers Hyderabad. The latter has played only three games, making his debut last year. On the other hand, Ahmed has 39 games under his belt, all for the three-time finalists. The team is already suffering from a good middle-order batting option and a player who can bowl too and giving away Ahmed for Dagar seems to be a suicidal deal.
