One player each team will regret for releasing in IPL history
After being released from their teams initially, these players have now settled with other franchise and are successful too.
3. Royal Challengers Bangalore – KL Rahul
Unlike CSK and MI, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been criticized for releasing world class players. There have been numerous occasions where RCB release a player and he goes on to succeed in another team. However, their decision to let go of KL Rahul has to be one of the worst decisions the RCB management has ever taken.
KL Rahul is arguably one of the greatest T20 players of our era. He has been an absolute run machine in the IPL. However, his good run in the IPL started when he played for RCB in 2016 as he went on to score five 50+ scores in that season.
RCB, however, chose not to retain him in the IPL 2018 auction and they showed faith in Sarfaraz Khan. KL Rahul was then purchased by Punjab and he went on to become their best player. He scored a total of 659 runs in 14 matches at an average of 54.91 for the then Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). RCB would definitely regret their decision to pick Sarfaraz Khan over KL Rahul.
