IPL 2026: Top 3 Worst Releases by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL History

3. Shane Watson

This includes his title-winning contributions for Chennai Super Kings in the 2018 edition. Considering his experience, power-hitting, and ability to deliver with both bat and ball, parting ways with Watson did not work out in RCB’s favour.
