38-year-old batting all-rounder Kedar Jadhav has been roped in by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as an injury replacement of England's David Willey.
Jadhav played his last Indian Premier League (IPL) game in September 2021 while representing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Punjab Kings at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE.
Jadhav will join RCB for his third IPL season with the team after previously playing for them in 2017. Notably, the all-rounder from Maharashtra was selected by RCB via a trade deal with the Delhi franchise, which was then known as the Delhi Daredevils, before the 2016 IPL season.

How many runs has Kedar Jadhav scored in the IPL?
Making his debut in the 2010 season of the IPL of Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), Jadhav has gone on to represent Kochi Tuskers Kerala (now defunct), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
It was his big-hitting prowess in the middle-order for DC that really helped him earn an India debut. He was picked by RCB in the 2016 auctions. In 2018, he was snapped up by CSK.
In the season opener against the Mumbai Indians, he suffered a hamstring injury and had to leave the game hurt. However, he later came back and heroically brought the team home by scooping a six on one leg over fine leg in the final over. He missed the remainder of the season, though, because of the injury.
