RCB, the last two-time champion in the Indian Premier League, has an almost perfect team in 2025 and 2026. But there is no such thing as ‘perfect’ in the game of cricket, because here even the biggest teams have been seen losing on their day. Flaws of champion teams have also been exposed.

In IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bangalore may have had great players like Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, but there are some names who were no less than a burden on the team. Here, know about 3 such players, whom Bengaluru team can release before IPL 2027.

Jitesh Sharma

There have been some players in IPL who got ‘hero’ prices but their performance was ‘zero’. Talking about IPL 2026, Jitesh Sharma was one of those players who took an amount of Rs 11 crore from RCB. Jitesh could score only 116 runs in 16 matches and his highest score in the entire season was only 23 runs. These figures may not be able to secure Jitesh’s place in the RCB team.

Romario Shepherd

Romario Shepherd has been a part of the champion RCB team of 2025 and 2026. Shepherd’s poor performance is somewhere hidden among the top performers. In the 2026 season, he played 15 matches and took 7 wickets and scored only 83 runs. Even in the previous season i.e. IPL 2025, the statistics of this West Indies player were not very good.

Suyash Sharma

Suyyash Sharma has also been suffering from poor form for the last two seasons. Leg-spinner Suyyash Sharma, who took a sum of Rs 2.60 crore from Royal Challengers Bangalore, could take only 9 wickets in the IPL 2026 season and could take only 8 wickets in the previous season. An economy rate above 9 indicates that in IPL 2026, Suyyash not only lagged behind in taking wickets but was also beaten badly.

Elon Musk Networth: When it comes to the richest people in the world, the first name that comes to mind is Elon Musk. But the real size of his wealth becomes clear when compared with countries, companies and sports teams. According to recently revealed figures, Elon Musk’s total wealth has reached almost 25 percent of India’s GDP. This means that one person has more wealth than even many big economies of the world.

Musk can buy RCB 561 times

The brand value and franchise value of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), one of the most popular teams of IPL, is in billions of rupees. According to media reports, Elon Musk’s wealth is so much that he can buy a team like RCB up to 561 times. This comparison has been made to explain the huge size of his wealth. Even the franchises included among the most valuable teams of IPL look very small in comparison to Musk’s net worth.

Far ahead of many big industrialists of India

Elon Musk’s wealth is more than the total wealth of many big industrialists not only in India but also in the world. His net worth is sometimes said to be bigger than the combined wealth of India’s top billionaires. A large part of Musk’s wealth comes from his stake in Tesla, SpaceX and other tech companies. This is the reason why his net worth keeps changing with the ups and downs of the stock market.

How did wealth increase so fast?

The biggest contribution to Elon Musk’s wealth is the increasing valuation of his companies. Especially the tremendous rise in the market price of SpaceX and Tesla has taken their net worth to new heights. Experts say that most of his wealth is not in cash, but in the form of shares and stakes. That is, on paper his wealth looks huge, but most of it is linked to the valuation of companies.

Wealth bigger than the economy of many countries

Musk’s wealth is being compared with the GDP of many countries. Statistics show that his total wealth is more than the annual economic activities of many developed and developing countries of the world. This is the reason why Elon Musk is no longer just a name in the business world, but has become a symbol of global economic power.

After retiring from cricket, most players enter the world of coaching or commentary. At the same time, today there are many such leagues in which only retired players participate, due to which they remain connected with cricket. However, there have been some players who adopted a different profession after leaving cricket. One such player is Siddharth Kaul, who is now working in a bank.

Siddharth Kaul was a part of the Indian team that won the Under-19 World Cup under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. His international career did not last long, but he made a name for himself with his performances. He got a chance to play 3 ODI and 3 T20 matches for India. Due to less opportunities, he decided to retire from cricket in the year 2024.

Siddharth Kaul, who represented Punjab in domestic cricket, is now working in a branch of State Bank of India (SBI) located in Chandigarh. After retirement, he has started a new innings of his life in the banking sector. Usually cricketers choose coaching or commentary, so the news of taking up a job in a bank surprised many people.

Despite not getting many opportunities at the international level, Siddharth Kaul’s performance in the IPL was quite impressive. In IPL 2008, Kolkata Knight Riders included him in their team for Rs 20 lakh, although he did not get a chance to play that season. After this, he did not become a part of any team for four years.

In the year 2013, Delhi Daredevils bought him for Rs 50 lakh and gave him a chance to play in IPL again. In the next season, Delhi also retained him for Rs 45 lakh. Siddharth played two consecutive seasons for Delhi. After that he joined Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In the IPL 2018 auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad kept him in the team by making a huge bid of Rs 3.80 crore. He remained a part of SRH team till 2021. After this, in 2022 and 2023, he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who bought him for Rs 75 lakh. After 2023, he did not get another chance in IPL.

Talking about his IPL career, Siddharth Kaul played a total of 55 matches, in which he took 58 wickets. His best performance in this tournament was taking 4 wickets for 29 runs.

IPL 2026 was no less than a nightmare for many players and there were many players who made this season memorable. Vaibhav Suryavanshi of Rajasthan Royals won the Orange Cap by scoring the most runs, while Kagiso Rabada, who played for Gujarat Titans, won the Purple Cap by taking the most wickets.

• The match fee is around Rs 12.6 crore.

Last Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the IPL 2026 trophy. This was the fifth trophy of Krunal Pandya’s career. Krunal has been a part of the champion team thrice before with Mumbai Indians and now twice with Royal Challengers Bangalore. The cricket world is busy congratulating the team and its players on RCB’s second consecutive win. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya has come into limelight because he did not even post a social media post to congratulate his brother Krunal.

Such reports have been coming out earlier also that all is not well between the Pandya brothers. Since Hardik did not even share a post or message on his brother’s team’s historic win, rumors of rift between the Pandya brothers have once again started gaining momentum.

Even during IPL 2026, the news of deteriorating relations between the two brothers had created a sensation. But when Krunal was asked a question in this regard, he rejected all such rumours. Let us tell you that Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik, were out of the IPL playoff race long ago. According to some reports, Hardik is suffering from stress and has decided to leave the Mumbai Indians team before the next season. However, there has been no official confirmation of this.
