QDK is overrated in T20s. He has not done anything of note in IPL yet.

Actually he did well for the Delhi team but the morons released him for no reason which was stupid.Why would you release a player who was your top run getter in 2016 but the Ex Ceo Dua was a dumb person.

The only reason i can think of delhi dropping him was because he rested in 2017.

Actually it came down to retention Rabada and Shami were retained he came before them so they let him go back then Rabada was a marquee player for that GLT20 so he was a certain to be retained but owners of DD have always been stupid.

He was inconsistent for them last season 

[jusarrived]

On the contrary I think it's a good decision. QDK is useless in T20s and more importantly another top order bat.

I am surprised they let QDK go as he can play 2 roles (WK and Opener).

 

Since Cory was in replacement for NCN, do they still have rights to NCN services?

 

if they let Cory, BMac go, they will have 3 slots.

Assuming they get NCN, they should go for Root, and may be Aghan opener (Zanzi - who hit 6 sixes recently) as their

bowling options with Southee, UY, NCN, Woakes, Chahal, Saini, Siraj, Sundar looks good.

Root won’t be available for full season none of the England players home series against Pakistan in May.

RCB team management resembles Indian team management. Stupidity, lack of vision and incompetency. 

This is no surprise since both are led by the same person. QDK brings more value than RCBs captain. 

Don’t worry man our franchise will outdo yours in terms of stupidity they are already releasing Gambhir moron Ponting will load his Bbl friends in Delhi team.

Bowling has been the headache forever for RCB.Team needs revamp.Too much money spent on Virat Kohli and ABD and they are not giving expected returns.Russell and Narine are providing much better returns that what they were paid. Rohit, Hardik and Bumrah are giving better returns at same cost of those two.There are many other combos of two players or more on whom less money was spent than those two but are easily outperforming the pair of Virat Kohli and ABD.Think even Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw outscored them at leass than half the price?

RCB needs to buy Indian bats and overseas pacers. Focus on fast bowlers who can bowl yorkers. That is the only way to win in their stadium. 

 

Then agian Kohli might want to buy Curran! 

[Straight Drive]

RCB batting is the big flop considering the amount they have invested in two batsmen. The return over investment as far as Virat Kohli and ABD are concerned is the worst among 8 teams.

 

(1) Rayudu - 602 (2.2 cr), Watson 555 and 6 wickets (4 cr) - 6.2 crores 1157 runs @ sr 152.17  and 6 wickets 

 

(2).Williamson - 734 (3 cr) , Shikhar Dhawan 497 (5.2 cr).  8.2 crores - 1231 runs @ sr 139.69

(3).Rishabh Pant - 684 (8 cr) , Shreyas Iyer  411 (7 cr). 15 crores - 1095 runs @ sr 153.09

 

(4).Rahul - 659 (11 cr), Chris Gayle 368 (2 cr) - 13 crores - 1027 @ sr 152.22

 

(5).Jos Buttler - 548 (4.4 cr), Sanju Samson 441 (8 cr),Ajinkya Rahane 370 (4 cr) - 16.4 crores 1359 runs @ sr 137.08

 

(6).Dinesh Karthik - 498 (7.4 cr), Chris Lynn 491 (9.6 cr), Narine 357 and 17 wickets (8.5 cr) -  25.5 crores 1340  runs @ sr 155.96 and 17 wickets 

(7).Surya Yadav - 512 (3.2 cr), Evin Lewis 382 (3.8 cr), Rohit 286 (15 cr)  - 22 crores 1180 runs @ sr 134.99

(8).VK - 530 (17 cr), ABD 480 (11 cr).  28 crores - 1010 runs @ sr 156.82

 

All other teams are spending less and getting more returns in comparison. Some teams are saving so much that they are able to use saved money on getting prolific T20 bowlers like Tye or Mujeeeb and even good batsmen in playing 11 or bench with saved money. The franchisees are able to build a much better team in comparison due to wise spending.

 

Some teams like Delhi and Rajasthan are also getting wicket keeper. RCB are getting bad captaincy to further reduce the return over investment.

Edited some rankings as soon as I realized.

Dhawan might join MI

As per a Mumbai Mirror report, "Dhawan is not happy in Sunrisers Hyderabad and has expressed his desire to leave." However, he has a contract which keeps him with the franchise for the next three years but a move can be forced out. The report further suggests that Dhawan apparently had an argument with Sunrisers coach Tom Moody and being one of the top four limited-overs players in the Indian team, wanted to be retained by the franchise as the No.1 or No. 2 player. 

The left-hander is reportedly unhappy with his low fee, and the Sunrisers are negotiating a transfer for him with Mumbai Indians. If the move materialises successfully, Dhawan will be joining his Indian teammate and opening partner Rohit Sharma. The prolific pair will reunite for the franchise, in what could be a huge boost for the Mumbai outfit ahead of the new season.

purely by numbers an ageing Pappu patel outclassed Quinton, although it was 6 matches for Pappu & 8 for Quinton.. may be they are better off investing that in strengthening the lower-middle order

Quinton wasn't in great touch then. Won't remain like that forever.

Never said that... Just mentioned the possible rationale behind rcb decision.
