IPL 2023 is currently inching closer to its conclusion. By winning their games, each club tries to stay in the running for the playoffs. The Royal Challengers Bangalore squad is another well-known name in these groups. But prior to these crucial matches, the RCB team experienced a significant setback as one of their top all-around players has left the intermediate division.
RCB’s Star All-Rounder David Willey, will not participate in the IPL in 2023. Willie, who has been playing for RCB in the previous few games, won’t be able to participate in the forthcoming games. Willey has been ruled out of IPL 2023 due to fractured toe and adductor strain.

This season, Willey had a economy of 7, while taking 3 wickets in 4 matches. A major setback to RCB’s chances of making the playoffs is the player’s abrupt departure.
RCB has also signed Willie’s replacement. Indian all-rounder Kedar Jadhav has been included in the RCB team in place of Willey. Jadhav has been included in this team for Rs 1 crore.
Jadhav, who made his IPL debut in 2010, has played 93 IPL matches so far and has 1196 runs in his name. Jadhav has already played 17 matches for RCB. At the same time, this player was unsold in the IPL auction.
