5 cricketers who never featured in IPL after playing for RCB
Most of the time the Bangalore franchise has not utilized their resources well and these players lost their IPL value because of their RCB stint.
2) Rilee Rossouw
South African players have always been a constant in the formula of the Indian Premier League. Especially the Bangalore team which has been home to some of the most iconic stars of the Rainbow Nation. Again in IPL 2015, the squad consisted of three African stars including Rilee Rossouw who was considered as an emerging talent in those days.
The left-handed batsman was a replacement signing in 2014 but the franchise decided to retain him for the 8th edition. Due to the presence of established international players, Rossouw was not going to be a regular in the playing XI. Still, he was hopeful of getting enough chances to showcase his talent as he is a good white-ball player.
To everybody’s surprise in one of the games, he secured a spot in the playing XI ahead of Chris Gayle but ended up with a golden duck. Then in the following tie, he managed 14 runs but after that, carrying drinks became his primary trade. Unfortunately, the skipper didn’t trust him anymore and lost his place in the squad before the 2016 edition. At that time the southpaw was in good nick so it can be said that the franchise didn’t use him wisely. The matters became worse as he has not signed an IPL contract in the last 4 years.
