Rajasthan Royals (RR) is reportedly going to rope in South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen as a replacement for England all-rounder Ben Stokes and Liam Livingstone’s for the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
While Stokes was ruled out due to a finger injury, Livingstone returned home citing bio-bubble fatigue.
According to a report in EspnCricinfo report, the South African is waiting for visa clearance before he can fly to India.
Significantly, Dussen, 32, had a great outing against Pakistan in the recently concluded limited-overs series as he had scored a couple of fifties and a century.
He has featured in 26 T20s, amassing over 3,824 runs at an average of 38.62.
Significantly, the RR side has been jolted by the absence of its key players like Stokes and pacer Jofra Archer. The Sanju Samson-led side currently lies at the bottom of the eight-team standings, managing just one win from their four matches.
