IPL: Best XI of RCB's released players who performed well for other franchises
After leaving the Bangalore-based outlet, these players set the tournament on fire with their stunning displays.
10. Umesh Yadav
Noticing Umesh Yadav’s wicket-taking ability, Royal Challengers Bangalore invested INR 4.2 crores at the 2018 mega auction. Along with huge names such as Tim Southee, Chris Woakes, and Yuzvendra Chahal, Yadav’s job was to bolster the team’s bowling unit.
In the competition, he emerged as a wicket-taking bowler for the franchise taking 20 wickets in 14 matches of the 2018 season, at an economy of 7.86. However, the veteran failed to carry his form in the next season as he looked horrendous with the ball picking only eight wickets in 11 matches at an expensive economy of 9.80.In 2020 as well, the speedster failed to show up as he couldn’t get any wickets in a couple of games he got.
In February 2021, RCB cut ties with him after getting his services in three seasons. In 2021, Delhi Capitals bought the strongman for INR 1 crore at the mini-auction but couldn’t give him a chance to play in the competition. In the 2022 edition of the league, he featured for KKR and bagged 12 wickets in 16 matches, giving runs at a frugal economy of 7.06.
