Star-Studded, But Often Missing The Balance

Ee sala cupnammde (This time, the cup is ours) was the catchphrase amongRoyalChallengers Bangalore supporters last year. But, like every IPL season, they were disappointed yet again as RCB finished sixth in the league, winning only six games and failing to advance to the play-offs.

The franchise rung in the changes, parting ways with head coach Daniel Vettori, batting and fielding coach Trent Woodhill and bowling coach Andrew McDonald. Gary Kirsten and Ashish Nehra (who was previously mentor) took over as coaches as RCB set about assembling a new-look squad. As many as nine players, including Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson and Chris Woakes, were released while Quinton de Kock was sold to Mumbai Indians. Mandeep Singh was traded to Kings XI Punjab in exchange for Marcus Stoinis. Then, at the auction, RCB bought nine players, including ShimronHetmyer and Shivam Dube.
