IPL 2018 - 3 released players RCB would be missing right now

RCB released several big names from their squad of last year

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are currently 7th on the IPL 11 points table. Despite having a good combination of players this year, RCB have managed to win only one of their four games. Year after year, fans turn out in large numbers in support of the Virat Kohli led side, only to be disappointed at the business end of the tournament. RCB released several players from their squad of last year, some of which were shocking exclusions. Here's looking at 3 players who were released by RCB but are not performing well for their new teams.


#3 Shane Watson

Watson has been performing well for CSK

Last year, the Australian all-rounder scored only 71 runs from 8 matches for RCB at a dismal average of 11.83. Following this debacle, RCB did not show interest in retaining Watson for this year's squad, and he was bought by the Chennai Super Kings instead.

The 36-year-old is putting up fine all-round performances for Chennai. In his debut for CSK, he ended with 2-29 with the ball and 16 with the bat. In the next game, he again did justice to his place in the team by registering 2-39 with the ball and 42 runs with the bat.

Although he was not very impressive in the third game, he bounced back with a 57-ball 106 in the fourth game and proved why T20 cricket has nothing to do with one's age.
