While SRH secured Dagar for INR 1.8 crore in the previous season, RCB invested INR 2.4 crore in Shahbaz during the 2022 auction.

With both Shahbaz and Dagar specialising in slow left-arm bowling, this trade is a like-for-like move. However, Shahbaz brings an extra dimension with his batting potential, adding significant value.
