Salaries of RCB players in IPL 2020 season
Virat Kohli is the highest-paid cricketer not only in RCB but also in the IPL.
19. Joshua Philippe – INR 20 lakh
When RCB bought Joshua Philippe, there was some element of surprise. Not a lot of them had heard about the Sydney Sixers wicket-keeper batsman. However, Philippe has made a lot of noise and has scored consistently in this 2019-20 season of the BBL. He is leading the run charts for Sydney Sixers and has scored 340 runs at an average of 34.00. His attractive stroke-play influenced RCB management to go for him. Thus, he was picked at a base price of INR 20 lakh.
20. Pavan Deshpande – INR 20 lakh
Pavan Deshpande is only the second player from Karnataka to feature in this RCB squad. The 30-year-old was bought for his base price of INR 20 lakh in the 2020 season. He was even a part of the squad in 2018 but he didn’t a single game. It could be the case once again.
Deshpande was bought at his base price of INR 20 lakh. He’s been in good form. The left-hander has a good T20 record. Deshpande has scored 426 runs at an average of 47.33 and a strike-rate of almost 150. With the talent pool available, Deshpande may not get a game.
21. Shahbaz Ahmed – INR 20 lakh
Shahbaz Ahmad was another surprising pick in this 2020 edition of the auction. Ahmad is a 25-year-old wicket-keeper batsman who has never made it to any IPL team before. Moreover, he’s played 29 T20Is and he’s done well. He has a List ‘A’ and T20 cricket average more than any other format. Shahbaz Ahmad averages 38.15 in 16 T20 games. He has a strike-rate of 128.45 in T20 cricket. However, Ahmad is likely to play the role of a backup and apply some finishing touches to the innings.
