It has already been confirmed by Rajasthan Royals that Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of IPL 2023. The pacer recently had a stress fracture and had to go through surgery. He has been out of action for a while and his absence will be a big miss for the franchise.
Here are three players that Rajasthan Royals can sign as a replacement for Prasidh Krishna for IPL 2023:
1. Vasuki Koushik
Vasuki Koushik, from Karnataka, did very well in both Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well as in Vijay Hazare Trophy. He picked wickets regularly with an excellent economy rate. He can be a fine replacement for Prasidh Krishna in the Rajasthan Royals setup.
2. Sandeep Sharma
Sandeep Sharma can be one of the best replacements for Prasidh Krishna for IPL 2023. The veteran pacer went unsold in the IPL 2023 Auction. However, considering the experience he has, RR can pick Sandeep Sharma for the unit. He is a specialist in the powerplay and can pick a few wickets along with Trent Boult.
3. Varun Aaron
Despite being on the winning side in IPL 2022, Varun Aaron was unsold in the auctions. He can be a replacement for Prasidh from the perspective of ‘hit-the-deck’ capability that Prasidh brings to the table. We should not be surprised if this happens as Varun Aaron has already played for Rajasthan Royals before.
