IPL 2024: IPL has started and all the teams have played at least one match. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals team has made a big change in its squad.

Was part of LSG this season

Keshav Maharaj was a part of the Lucknow Super Giants team at the beginning of this series. He also plays for Super Giant in SA 20, but was not made a part of the official team in IPL. He would only train with the team during the season. In such a situation, he was not a part of the Lucknow team as a player, but on behalf of RR, he has been included in the team as a player.

Maharaj, who bowls left-arm spin, made a splash on Indian pitches in the ODI World Cup last year, where he took 15 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of less than 5. Also in the SA20 earlier this year, Maharaj, playing for the Super Giants franchise, took 15 wickets in 13 matches and continuously troubled the opposition team. His leadership skills also came to the fore throughout the tournament. Rajasthan Royals team has made a great start to the season and they defeated Lucknow Super Giants team in their first match.

Keshav Maharaj got so much money

Prasidh Krishna recently underwent surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon and is currently recovering. His replacement is experienced South African cricketer Keshav Maharaj, who has played 27 T20s, 44 ODIs and 50 Tests and has taken 237 wickets in international cricket. Additionally, he has played 159 T20s, taking 130 wickets and can also score some useful runs. RR has signed him for his base price of Rs 50 lakh.
