Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag feels Royal Challengers Bangalore will be stupid if they don’t use their Right to Match (RTM) card to re-buy Yuzvavendra Chahal in the upcoming auction of Indian Premier League. The mega auction for upcoming IPL will take place on January 27-28 in Bengaluru.

Viru quoted to Deccan Chronicle “I don’t know at what price he (Chahal) will go but RCB will definitely use RTM for him. If they don’t, then they will be stupid.”

“Gayle is now getting old. He is not the same Gayle that he once was. Last year, he played in the IPL and his performance wasn’t at that level that he was once renowned for. Teams take into account this factor when they enter the auction. Maybe RCB might go after Gayle again at the auction,” said Sehwag.

Bengaluru based franchise hasn’t get their hands onto the silverware of the most famous T20 league around the world. RCB has reached to the finals thrice in IPL, but they are yet to lift the cup despite having several match-winners in their team.
