In a recent development, South African fast bowler Nandre Burger has been called in to replace the injured Indian seamer Sandeep Sharma in the Rajasthan Royals' squad for the remainder of the Indian Premier League season.
Sandeep Sharma suffered a fractured finger, ruling him out of the season after taking nine wickets in 10 matches for the Royals. His absence is a significant blow to the team which has struggled this season.
Burger is no stranger to the Royals, having previously played six matches with the team, securing seven wickets. His return marks a strategic move as the Royals aim to finish the season on a positive note, despite being out of the playoff race.
