Summary
- Rajasthan Royals signed Emanjot Singh Chahal as a replacement.
- Chahal, a left-arm spinner, has no senior white-ball caps.
- Injured Ravi Singh was replaced after playing one match.
Rajasthan Royals have bolstered their IPL 2026 roster by signing young Punjab cricketer Emanjot Singh Chahal. He is set to replace wicketkeeper-batter Ravi Singh, who has been sidelined due to injury. Chahal, a left-arm spinner, brings potential to the team, though he is relatively unknown and lacks senior white-ball experience.
Despite his limited white-ball exposure, Chahal has participated in three First Class matches, where he claimed 11 wickets and achieved a high score of 83. His acquisition by the Royals could be a strategic investment in a player for future seasons. Ravi Singh was acquired by the franchise for INR 95 lakhs in the IPL auction. He managed to play one game, scoring a boundary off his first ball before being dismissed. His injury during the match prompted the team to seek additional cover for the remainder of the season.
