RR replace Adam Zampa with Ranji Trophy hero Tanush Kotian

Australian spinner Adam Zampa has pulled out of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Thursday due to personal reasons, according to reports. Subsequently, the Rajasthan Royals team, on Friday, named uncapped Indian all-rounder Tanush Kotian as Zampa’s replacement.

The 25-year-old Kotian represented Mumbai in the recently concluded Ranji Trophy where he picked up 29 wickets and scored 502 runs across 10 matches. He made his first-class debut in 2018 for Mumbai, and has also represented the side in List A and Twenty20 cricket.

Zampa was retained by the franchise for an amount of Rs 1.5 Crore ahead of the auction in December 2023.
