Chahal will join the franchise for INR 30 lakh, filling the gap left by Ravi\u2019s hamstring problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Why RR made the change<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ravi Singh has been ruled out of the rest of IPL 2026 after sustaining a hamstring injury.<\/li>\n<li>Ravi is a wicketkeeper-batter, and the injury sidelines him from the remaining fixtures.<\/li>\n<li>RR have signed Emanjot Chahal, a left-arm spinner, as the replacement.<\/li>\n<li>Chahal\u2019s contract with RR is reported at INR 30 lakh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ravi Singh\u2019s IPL 2026 involvement so far<\/h2>\n<p>Ravi Singh, aged 24, was purchased at the most recent auction for INR 95 lakh. However, his impact in the current IPL has been limited to a single appearance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ravi played just one match in IPL 2026.<\/li>\n<li>On his debut, he batted at No. 6 for RR against Delhi Capitals.<\/li>\n<li>In that game, he scored 4 runs off 2 balls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>About the replacement: Emanjot Chahal<\/h2>\n<p>Emanjot Chahal, 21, is a right-hand batter as well as a left-arm spinner. He is part of the Punjab set-up in domestic cricket, but has yet to make his senior debut in official T20 or one-day matches.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chahal has not played an official senior T20 match.<\/li>\n<li>He has also not appeared in a senior one-day game yet.<\/li>\n<li>In three first-class matches, he has scored 105 runs, with a highest score of 83.<\/li>\n<li>Along with the batting, he has taken 11 wickets in those first-class outings.<\/li>\n<li>He made his first-class debut in October 2024.<\/li>\n<li>In the previous Ranji Trophy season, he featured in only one match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>RR\u2019s playoff scenario ahead of the final league game<\/h2>\n<p>RR are currently placed fourth on the points table. Their final league match is set for Sunday afternoon, when they face Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede.<\/p>\n<p>The task is clear for the franchise: a win would secure RR\u2019s place in the playoffs as they look to claim the last qualifying spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan Royals (RR) have brought in left-arm spinner Emanjot Chahal as cover for Ravi Singh, with
