IPL Season 10: RPS ropes in Imran Tahir

Australia and Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the 10th edition of IPL owing to a shoulder injury. RPS has roped in South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir into the squad as a replace for injured Marsh. Imran Tahir, who went unsold in the 2017 IPL Player Auction, is from the registered available player pool list (RAPP list). As per the player regulations, RPS is allowed the replacement player from the RAPP list. Tahir had earlier represented Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2016. The Pune franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is leaving no stone unturned as it is making every possible effort to put up a best show in this year’s IPL which is scheduled to begin from Apr. 5. Pune picked a lot of fresh faces in the auction last month and came out with a major decision of replacing M.S. Dhoni with Australia's captain Steve Smith as the RPS captain. Now, in another move to change the franchise's fortunes, they have changed its name from Rising Pune Supergiants to 'Rising Pune Supergiant'.
