Lhuan-Dre Pretorius already represents Royals's franchise because it is an integral part of Paarl Royals in the SA20.
Star Rajasthan Royals (RR) player Nitish Rana has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The IPL website confirmed the news that the southpaw has been injured and is thus replaced by a South African talent, Lhuan-dre Pretorius.
RR, who have already been knocked out of the IPL 2025, have missed their skipper Sanju Samson for the majority of the season, while Sandeep Sharma was also ruled out of the tournament earlier. Now, Rana goes as well, who also sat out in RR’s last game against KKR.
Who is Lhuan-dre Pretorius?
So, another stylish left-handed opener has been added to the Rajasthan team for IPL 2025. They already have Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryvanshi and for RR to have Pretorius is an interesting move. As stated above, he’s already part of the Royals family, having been in the Paarl Royals’ setup at the SA20.
It was at SA20 2025 when Pretorius gained huge traction among cricket fans. Playing his first-ever elite franchise tournament, the southpaw made an instant impact and ended up as the highest run-getter of the tournament with 397 runs at a magnificent strike rate of 166.81.
