Ajit Agarkar stated that RCB focuses on buying their top 3 players and investing a lot of money in them which as a result the team is not able to buy enough middle-order batsmen as shortage of money in the team\u2019s purse leaves with no choice but to not buy enough players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you break the bank for one player, doesn\u2019t matter how good he is, (he) will win you games but will never win you competitions,\u201d suggests former pacer Ajit Agarkar.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore have spent 33 crores on retaining their top three players.
