Royal Challengers Bangalore has been performing well in the last few seasons, but the title is still far away from this team. In IPL 2024, RCB was eliminated after losing to Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator match. Now the new retention policy and salary slots issued by BCCI has made it difficult for teams to retain players. Before the auction, let us know about those 3 players whom RCB may decide to release.
glen maxwell
Glenn Maxwell has scored 1,266 runs in 52 matches for RCB in the IPL at an average of 28.77. Last season, he scored only 52 runs in 12 matches, due to which he was trolled a lot. Maxwell has failed as a batsman in the IPL for the last several seasons, which has reduced his market value in franchise cricket. Before Maxwell becomes a burden on the team, RCB can release him.
Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis will join Royal Challengers Bangalore in the year 2022. His performance as a player has been consistently good and he has scored a total of 1,636 runs in the last 3 seasons. He recently led St. Lucia Kings to the Caribbean Premier League title under his captaincy. Du Plessis's performance has been top class, but according to the salary category made by BCCI, even Rs 11 crore seems too much for Du Plessis.
Yash Dayal
Yash Dayal was included in their team by RCB for IPL 2024 by paying Rs 5 crore. Yash became the bowler taking the highest wickets (15) for Bengaluru in his debut season. He took wickets but gave away a lot of runs in the powerplay and death overs. Last season, Yash's economy rate was 9.15. Although he did not debut for Team India, he was selected in the team for the series against Bangladesh. Yash's stature as a player is growing and it will not be possible for RCB to maintain it. To maintain the success, RCB will have to spend at least Rs 11 crore. In such a situation, the last option for Bengaluru would be to release him.
