New Delhi, Delhi, India
Team Delhi has roped in Liam Plunkett as the replacement of injured South African player Kagiso Rabada. England's pacer Plunkett was picked from registered available player pool (RAPP) list.
Delhi will play their first match on April 8, at Mohali against Punjab. Rabada was purchased at an amount of INR 4.2 cr and had the potential to add fire to the bowling squad but he has been ruled out due to injury. Now, Liam Plunkett will take in charge.
Plunkett has featured in 13 Tests, 65 One-day International, and 15 T20 Internationals for his national team.
It will be Liam Plunkett first IPL experience.
Here's announcing @Liam628 as our replacement for @KagisoRabada25 for the VIVO @IPL 2018. We're stoked to have him with us!
