- Sarfaraz Khan
In the 2018 IPL auction, apart from Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, RCB management decided to retain young batsman Sarfaraz Khan over Chris Gayle. He disappointed in the 2018 IPL scoring just 51 runs from 7 matches. His best score in the tournament was 22*. RCB franchise had to pay as Sarfaraz Khan was not able to score big runs. He did not play full matches and was dropped from the playing XI due to inconsistent performances.
With the way he performed this season, RCB thinks of dropping him from the team and bring some new face.
