Avesh Khan and Devdutt Padikkal have traded teams ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, marking significant movements during the IPL trading window.
Avesh Khan, known for his right-arm pace bowling, has secured a move from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to Rajasthan Royals (RR). With an impressive record of 55 IPL wickets in 47 matches, Avesh contributed significantly during his tenure with LSG, where he participated in 22 matches and secured 26 wickets after joining the franchise in 2022. The trade between the franchises occurred for Avesh's current fee, as confirmed by IPL in an official statement.
On the other side of the trade, Devdutt Padikkal, the talented left-handed batter, will shift from Rajasthan Royals (RR) to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Padikkal boasts a remarkable IPL career, having accumulated 1521 runs in 57 matches, including a century and nine half-centuries. His tenure with RR, which commenced in 2022, saw him represent the team in 28 matches, amassing 637 runs before the trade took place based on his existing fee, according to IPL sources.
These trades bring a shuffle of talents and perspectives, potentially impacting the dynamics of both Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants as they gear up for the upcoming IPL season.
