IPL 2015: List of players released
and transferred
Here is the list of players who have
been released and transferred by
teams for the eighth edition of the
Indian Premier League.
Players released by teams before
the December 15-deadline:
Royal Challengers Bangalore
In a major move, RCB have released
all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh, into the
auctions pool for the 2015 edition of
the Indian Premier League (IPL). It
was earlier reported that captain
Virat Kohli wanted Yuvraj retained in
the side, but his request has been
turned down by the RCB
management. Yuvraj, who was
bought for Rs. 14 Crore, was the
highest bid player at the 2014
auctions.
This means that RCB now have an
additional sum of Rs. 14 Crore in
their purse for the auctions taking
place early next year. It is also
expected that RCB will be keen to
buy back Yuvraj at the auctions for a
lesser price.
Barring a very few games, Yuvraj did
not justify his price tag last year.
