In place of Willey, RCB has brought in Kedar Jadhav, who joins the team for a base price of Rs 1 crore. Jadhav is an experienced campaigner in the IPL, having scored 1196 runs in 93 matches so far, with a strike rate of 123.17. He has also picked up 27 wickets with his off-spin bowling.
RCB is currently placed in the 6th position of the points table with four wins and four losses in their first eight matches.
