Rajasthan had bought CoulterNile for Rs 2 crore in the mega auction 2022. Prior to this, he was part of the Mumbai Indians team in the IPL. Nathan Coulter-Nile played against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match of Rajasthan Royals this season, in which he proved to be very expensive and he conceded 48 runs in 3 overs. The dismissal of Coulter-Nile has dealt a big blow to the Rajasthan team as he was a great option both in bowling and batting simultaneously.

However, Rajasthan Royals are yet to announce the replacement for Nathan Coulter Nile. Now it will be interesting to see who will replace Team Nile in the squad. He was able to play only in the first match in the second and third matches he was rested due to injury. (ANI)
