3 players who can replace Prasidh Krishna in RR squad for IPL 2024

Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been hit by a massive blow ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024, as their prime bowler Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the season after undergoing surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon. Prasidh has been a brilliant performer for the franchise since being signed in 2022. Krishna had missed the last season of the IPL as well due to an injury. He played 17 games in the 2022 season, picking 19 wickets at an average of 29. 

There is a chance that the champions of the inaugural IPL season in 2008 might look for a replacement player for Prasidh out of the list of unsold ones in the IPL 2024 auction. In this article, we will take a look at three players who can bring the same value to the RR team in the absence of Prasidh Krishna.

Here are 3 players who can replace Prasidh Krishna in the RR squad for IPL 2024:

3. Sandeep Warrier

Kerela-born fast bowler Sandeep Warrier can be a replacement for the injured Prasidh. Warrier has the experience of playing in a high-octane tournament like the IPL, previously being a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Mumbai Indians. He has played five IPL games, picking two wickets at an average of 67. Overall, he has played 72 T20 matches, taking 63 wickets, with his best figures being 3/19.

Despite his above-average T20 record, Warrier couldn't find a place in the playing XI of any of the franchises he has represented for a long time. However, RR might go with the tall pacer, and there are chances that Warrier might get some games this season and might start with the new ball along with Trent Boult. Warrier possesses decent pace, and his variations could prove beneficial on the Jaipur track during the course of the tournament.
