Hit hard by foreign pull-outs, Royals seek to loan players from other teams

After 4 of their top players already ruled out of IPL 2021, Rajasthan Royals are desperate for reinforcements. So much so that they have approached fellow IPL teams to loan players.

Aa source close to the team management told PTI that nothing has been decided so far. The IPL loan window started on April 26 and will end with the conclusion of the league stage.

Two of Royals' top stars from England, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer were ruled out due to injuries. Whereas their Australian duo of Liam Livingstone and Andrew Tye decided to fly back home citing bio-bubble fatigue and fear due to the surge in Covid-19 cases in India.
