5 expensive players from the auction who have failed to deliver

#4 Shivam Dube

Can Shivam Dube get back into RCB's playing XI?

Shivam Dube was one of the most talked about Indian uncapped player coming into the auction. Dube had been putting in strong performances for Mumbai across formats and his all-round abilities were expected to fetch him a fat paycheck.

And that is exactly what happened, as Royal Challengers Bangalore picked him for 5 crores. However, the Mumbai lad hasn't been able to perform as per expectations in the IPL so far. The 25-year-old played just 3 matches for RCB before being dropped from the playing XI.

In these 3 matches, Dube scored just 16 runs and bowled just 4 balls. RCB has a barrage of all-rounders in their line-up and thus Dube was unceremoniously dropped from the side. However, the youngster will be hoping for another chance in the playing XI to show his mettle on the big stage.
