5 players who the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would like to retain for IPL 2018

#4 KL Rahul

Rahul will miss out on the Champions Trophy as well

KL Rahul came into the limelight after some impressive performances for RCB last year. He performed in situations when the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers failed to do so. An excellent IPL season led to him being drafted into the Indian squad in all three formats of the game.

He slowly became a mainstay in the national side and left everyone spellbound with his ability with the bat. He scored a fifty in almost every innings in the recently concluded Test series against Australia at home.

Unfortunately, he injured himself towards the end of the series and was unable to play a part in RCB’s poor campaign this season and finds himself out of contention for the Champions Trophy as well.

With RCB’s poor batting display this year, Rahul would most definitely be retained next year and give the batting line-up a big boost.
