IPL 2018: Rajasthan Royals Sign Ish Sodhi to Replace Zahir Khan

Rajasthan Royals have roped in New Zealand star, Ish Sodhi as an injury replacement for the remainder of the season. The kiwi leg-spinner will replace Afghanistan’s, Zahir Khan. Royals had signed the Afghanistan spinner for Rs 60 lakhs in this year’s auction.

The teenager had shot to limelight after playing in this year’s ICC Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. The chinaman bowler had played an integral role in Afghanistan’s brilliant journey in the tournament where they made it to the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Sodhi looks set to bolster the squad. The right-arm spinner was the number one T20I bowler not very long ago.

He currently occupies the fourth rank on the ICC T20I rankings for bowlers. Sodhi has ample experience of playing in the T20Is, having played 26 T20Is for New Zealand. Overall, he has played 92 T20s and has taken 102 wickets
