10 Players Royal Challengers Bangalore regret letting go

#5 Shane Watson

Shane Watson was let go by RCB in 2017 after he failed to justify his price tag of 9.5 crores.

Shane Watson, the classy right-handed batsman has become a household name in T20 leagues across the world. He can be very worthy to the team as he has excellent all-around skills.

He can play the role of an opening batsman as well as an opening bowler. He can chip in and bowl a few overs. Watson is best known for playing cover drive and square cut with ease. His athletic fielding skills also add up to his elegant all-around skills. He can also provide quick starts at the top of the order.

Watson has played 13 matches so far this season and has scored 424 runs at an outstanding average of 35.33 with a noteworthy strike rate of 154.74. He has also taken 6 wickets at an economy of 8.96.

As Bangalore lack a specialist all-rounder, he might have been the perfect solution to fill in the voids of Bangalore's woes. Not retaining Watson would have been a great displeasure for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
