IPL 2019: 10 Expensive players who might be released ahead of the next season
These players were picked by respective teams for a huge price but they couldn't live up to the expectations.
5. Shivam Dube (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Shivam Dube’s exploits in Ranji Trophy and in the inaugural T20 Mumbai League earned him a whopping bid in the auction ahead of the 2019 season. He was also in the starting XI of the RCB in the first few matches. But the left-hander couldn’t do justice to the price tag. There could be many reasons for him not performing to the expectations but Dube should’ve at least made a case with an odd blitzkrieg while batting at 7.
Moreover, he wasn’t used much with the bowl by Virat Kohli and the fact that, with too many superstars, the Mumbai player never got enough deliveries to prove his mettle with the bat. When he got a chance, the left-hander failed to make an impact. Dube ended his debut season with only 40 runs in four outings and he is likely to go back into the auction again.
