New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi has been signed by the Rajasthan Royals as a replacement for injured Afghanistan bowler Za🌠hir Khan in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018.
Sodhi was picked from the R♔egistered Available Player Pool (RAPP) list and this will be his first outing in ꧙the IPL.
He has played 15ꦬ Tests, 22 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 26 T20I for New Zealand so far.
The Jaipur-based franchise made some extravagant buys at mega auctions in January- they bagged Ben Stokes for a whopping 12.5 cr🌠ores. They also picked Jaydev Unadkat for Rs. 11.5 crores, making the left-arm pacer the most expensive Indian player.
The team 💫also managed to bag some former players at the auction like Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson a💞nd Dhawal Kulkarni.
However, RR lost their first-choice captain Steve Smith in the ball-tampering scandal. They then signed Heinrich Klassen as Smith’s replacement.
