Champion RCB can release these 3 players, know who is expected to be out

RCB, the last two-time champion in the Indian Premier League, has an almost perfect team in 2025 and 2026. But there is no such thing as ‘perfect’ in the game of cricket, because here even the biggest teams have been seen losing on their day. Flaws of champion teams have also been exposed.

In IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bangalore may have had great players like Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, but there are some names who were no less than a burden on the team. Here, know about 3 such players, whom Bengaluru team can release before IPL 2027.

Jitesh Sharma

There have been some players in IPL who got ‘hero’ prices but their performance was ‘zero’. Talking about IPL 2026, Jitesh Sharma was one of those players who took an amount of Rs 11 crore from RCB. Jitesh could score only 116 runs in 16 matches and his highest score in the entire season was only 23 runs. These figures may not be able to secure Jitesh’s place in the RCB team.

Romario Shepherd

Romario Shepherd has been a part of the champion RCB team of 2025 and 2026. Shepherd’s poor performance is somewhere hidden among the top performers. In the 2026 season, he played 15 matches and took 7 wickets and scored only 83 runs. Even in the previous season i.e. IPL 2025, the statistics of this West Indies player were not very good.

Suyash Sharma

Suyyash Sharma has also been suffering from poor form for the last two seasons. Leg-spinner Suyyash Sharma, who took a sum of Rs 2.60 crore from Royal Challengers Bangalore, could take only 9 wickets in the IPL 2026 season and could take only 8 wickets in the previous season. An economy rate above 9 indicates that in IPL 2026, Suyyash not only lagged behind in taking wickets but was also beaten badly.
