Shivam Dube - the new weapon in RCB's arsenal

The 25-year-old hailing from Mumbai was highly sought-after in the auctions. A number of franchises had their sights set on acquiring the services of the medium-pace all-rounder but it was RCB who won the battle of bids to hire him for a staggering sum of Rs. 5 crore.

The tall lad from Mumbai has been earning waves of praises for his domestic exploits lately. He had a splendid Ranji Trophy season for Maharashtra where he not only amassed 489 runs but also scalped 17 crucial wickets.

For someone who can hit huge sixes and provide the team with crucial breakthroughs, a handsome IPL contract was always on the cards. The talented lad has garnered a lot of attention and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the IPL this year.
