IPL RCB Team 2019 Players List: Shivam Dube, who smashed five successive sixes in an over in the Ranji game against Baroda just a day before the auction, was roped in for Rs 5 crore by Royal Challengers Bangalore. AB de Villiers, Yuzvendra Chahal, Tim Southee along with Nathan Coulter-Nile are some of the big guns that have been retained by RCB. RCB opted to trade Indian cricketer Mandeep Singh for Marcus Stoinis ahead of the auctions, while South African wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock was sold to Mumbai Indians. Brendon McCullum, Sarfraz Khan, Chris Woakes and Corey Anderson were the other players released by RCB ahead of the IPL 2019 auctions. RCB has never won the coveted IPL title and will look to end the title drought in the upcoming season.
