IPL History: Top 4 unlucky to play for RCB 

#2 Samuel Badree

Samuel Badree

Samuel Badree was one of the best T20 bowlers in the world when he was picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2016 season. Before coming to RCB he had played a few IPL games for CSK and RR. Unfortunately, he got injured before the IPL and couldn’t play a single game that year.

He came in 2017 but had to stiff competition for the fourth overseas spot. But still, Badree performed well in whatever chances he got for RCB. In the seven matches which he played, he picked up nine wickets which included a hat-trick against Mumbai Indians. The special thing about the hat-trick was that he bowled Rohit Sharma through the gate to pick up his third wicket.

But even after performing so well he had to make way for one of the pacers in some of the games. RCB could have used him better in the IPL. Badree went unsold in the 2018 IPL auction.
