IPL 2019: The Dark Horses in each team

#7 Royal Challengers Bangalore- Shivam Dubey

Shivam Dubey has been in the limelight from the moment he got sold to the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping 5 crores in the IPL 2019 auction that took place recently.

The 25-year-old all-rounder from Mumbai is an upcoming player with a great potential to succeed at the bigger stage. He can be a great utility player for the Royal Challengers from Bangalore.

Dubey's performance this season has been the only silver lining for the Mumbai side, who otherwise have had a pretty disappointing campaign. The left-handed batsman has scored 489 runs in five games with two centuries and three fifties at an average of just under 70. He has been very impressed everyone with the ball too, taking 17 wickets with a best of 7/53 against Karnataka.

He can create an impact for the RCB like the way Hardik Pandya did for the Mumbai Indians. Let us hope he is bogged down by the pressure of expectations.
