- Zahir Khan
Afghanistan young spinner Zahir Khan Pakteen was bought by Rajasthan Royals at base price money RS 20 Lakhs. After Rajasthan Royal’s first match, the young left-arm chinamen bowler was ruled out of IPL due to an injury.
Zahir Khan Pakteen featured in 2016 Under 19 World Cup. He was keen to work with Rajasthan Royals coach and widely known spinner Shane Warne. Royals have named Ish Sodhi of New Zealand as his replacement. Being of Indian origin and knowing the conditions better, he may also fulfil the expectations of the franchise.
