On that note, here, we take a look at the three players Rajasthan Royals can target to replace Prasidh Krishna for IPL 2024.
1) Basit Bashir
Basit Bashir is a fast bowler who hails from Jammu & Kashmir. There are a lot of sources which suggest that Basit could be a good signing for RR.
Barring Trent Boult, RR does not have a reliable left-arm pacer. Since Basit is a left-arm bowler, he stands a good chance to get picked for IPL 2024.
2) Sarfaraz Khan
RR already has Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini and Sandeep Sharma in the team. Hence, they might actually not need a replacement for Prasidh Krishna.
On the other hand, Riyan Parag is the option for RR at No.4. The team definitely needs a backup batter in this regard. The best option for them would be Sarfaraz Khan. He is high on confidence and can play at multiple slots. He is a good player of spin and can be an Impact Player.
3) Musheer Khan
Musheer Khan is one of the players Rajasthan Royals can target to replace Prasidh Krishna for IPL 2024. If not for Sarfaraz, his brother Musheer can also be a good pick. With the Mega Auctions likely to happen, if RR can hire Musheer Khan, they could retain him as an uncapped player for the future.
He is a good player who can play at various slots in the batting order, just like his brother. Plus, he can also bowl left-arm spin, something that RR could struggle with at the moment. Hence, Musheer is on this list.
