Ahead of the RCB-GT IPL 2026 final, ex-India captain Kris Srikkanth opined that RCB all-rounder Romario Shepherd shouldn't bowl and shouldn't be in the playing 11. "The only way RCB can lose is if Shepherd bowls three overs... If he bowls...RCB are gone," he further said. The 31-year-old has taken seven wickets with an economy of 11.92 in IPL 2026.
