Rajasthan Royals made a key addition to their squad by bringing in the seasoned South African left-arm spinner, Keshav Maharaj, in place of the injured pacer, Prasidh Krishna, in the ongoing 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Maharaj, with his wealth of international experience, adds further strength to the side's spin attack, which includes two of India's leading bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have also announced a replacement in their roster by adding Afghanistan player Allah Ghazanfar, a promising 16-year-old off-spinner, for the injured Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Despite his youth, Ghazanfar has already showcased his potential on the international stage, having represented Afghanistan in two ODIs so far.
With five wickets in three T20 matches and four wickets in six List A encounters, he has demonstrated his ability to make significant contributions with the ball. KKR acquired the Afghan spinner's services at his base price of ₹20 Lakh.
On the other hand, Prasidh Krishna's absence due to injury paved the way for Maharaj's entry into the Rajasthan Royals' squad. The fast bowler underwent surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon in February, and according to the last update from BCCI earlier this month, he continues to be monitored by the board's medical team. He is expected to resume his rehab at the NCA.
