Rajasthan Royals pacer Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the BCCI said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The fast bowler underwent surgery on February 23rd, 2024, on his left proximal quadriceps tendon. He is currently being monitored by the BCCI Medical Team and will resume rehab at the National Cricket Academy soon. He will not be able to take part in the upcoming TATA IPL 2024,” the statement read.
Prasidh had also missed the entire IPL 2023 season due to injury after being an integral part of Rajasthan Royals’ run to the final in 2022, picking 19 wickets in 17 matches. Royals had replaced Prasidh with the vastly experienced Sandeep Sharma in IPL 2023.
The lanky pacer was bought by Royals for a whopping Rs. 10 crore at the IPL 2022 auction and was retained by the franchise for the next edition.
