Lack of chances meant that Shivam Dube played only four matches in which he scored 40 runs. The all-rounder was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a huge price of Rs 5 Crore but did get many chances.

Going into next year’s auction, there can be a case when the franchise might release and buy him back at a lower price. Dube had a great run in domestic seasons which led to him getting a big price at the auction. He is presently part of India A squad in the ongoing West Indies series and good performances can see him make it to the India squad in the home season.
