Kedav Jadhav has replaced the injury David Willey in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad for the remainder of the Indian Premier League 2023. Jadhav has been acquired by RCB for Rs 1 crore.
He has previously played 93 IPL games, scoring 1196 runs. He made his IPL debut in 2010 with Delhi Daredevils and has represented RCB, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Willey, the English left-arm pacer, played four matches for RCB this season, taking three wickets. However, he will miss the remaining matches due to a fractured toe and an adductor strain. Willey was bought by RCB for Rs 2 crore at the 2022 mega auction.
