In IPL 2024, the hero of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy, TanushKotian, joins the Rajasthan Royals squad in place of Adam Zampa
On Friday, the Rajasthan Royals announced that the star of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy, TanushKotian, will replace Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who opted out of the IPL 2024 due to personal reasons.
The IPL statement read, “TanushKotian joined Rajasthan Royals (RR) in place of Adam Zampa for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. TanushKotian, who recently made solid all-round contributions as Mumbai won the 42nd Ranji Trophy title, joins RR for his base price of INR 20 lac. He has represented Mumbai in 23 T20s, 26 first-class games, and 19 List A matches.”
Kotian is an off-spinning all-rounder who excelled at Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy 2023–24 Ranji Trophy campaign. The off-spinner has 75 wickets in 26 first-class matches and has scored 1152 runs at an average of over 42.
It is a shrewd replacement for the Rajasthan Royals. With Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal leading the spin attack, they needed a batter lower down the order to strengthen their team, and they did just that by roping in TanushKotian.
