England all-rounder David Willey has been roped in by Chennai as a replacement for the injured Kedar Jadhav for the rest of the IPL tournament this year.
The announcement was made today.
Jadhav was ruled out of the entire IPL season due to a hamstring injury after featuring in opening game against Mumbai, which they won by one wicket.
The team's batting coach Mike Hussey had said on Monday that losing Jadhav, a key player in the middle-order, was a big blow.
Willey will become the 12th Englishman to receive a call-up in this IPL.
Chennai will next play against Punjab at Mohali on April 15.
