Star Rajasthan Royals (RR) player Nitish Rana has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The IPL website confirmed the news that the southpaw has been injured and is thus replaced by a South African talent, Lhuan-dre Pretorius.
RR, who have already been knocked out of the IPL 2025, have missed their skipper Sanju Samson for the majority of the season, while Sandeep Sharma was also ruled out of the tournament earlier. Now, Rana goes as well, who also sat out in RR’s last game against KKR.
