IPL: 5 former RCB Players who shined for other franchises

 5. Yuzvendra Chahal 

None of the RCB fans would have ever imagined Chahal not being part of their franchise, and donning any other franchise’s jersey. But that has been the case with RCB for over 15 years now, where they have not shown faith in potential players and match winners.

To many people’s surprise, Yuzvendra Chahal was not retained by RCB and was eventually picked by Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 mega auction for a price of just INR 6.50 crore.  

Chahal hasn’t disappointed the new franchise yet. He is the proud owner of the Purple Cap right now with 12 wickets at an economy of just 6.80 runs per over in the five games so far. Chahal, with his street smart leg-spin bowling, has given crucial breakthroughs to RR whenever the opposition team has been cruising towards a victory. Only time will tell, whether Chahal will also go on to win an IPL trophy for his new franchise after leaving RCB. But one thing is for sure, RCB will definitely be missing his services this season.
