Bishnoi, 25, was acquired by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) for Rs 7.2 crore at the mini auction in December last year. Born in Jodhpur, his move to the franchise is considered a homecoming as he initially started his journey as a net bowler for the team.

The franchise is likely to travel to Guwahati on March 26, 2026, for its season-opening match-up against CSK on March 30, as per the fixtures announced by the IPL Governing Council.

Notably, the Rajasthan Royals were involved in one of the biggest trade-offs in IPL history ahead of the IPL 2026 season.

Sanju Samson, who had been the face of Rajasthan Royals for more than a decade, representing the franchise across 11 seasons, was traded to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and will now don the yellow colours.

Rajasthan Royals, in turn, got Sam Curran and India's seasoned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who were traded to the inaugural champions.

Jadeja was part of the Rajasthan squad that lifted the inaugural IPL trophy in 2008 under the captaincy of the late Australian spinner Shane Warne. The veteran all-rounder represented the franchise during the 2008 and 2009 seasons before moving to other teams in the years that followed. (ANI)
