Karan Lal and Ishant Bhardwaj impress at Rajasthan Royals trials

Karan Lal and Ishant Bhardwaj stood out at Rajasthan Royals' two-day trials held on September 22 and 23 at the High Performance Centre in Talegaon. Lal scored an unbeaten 54 off 22 balls with six sixes in one of the practice matches.

The 25-year-old Bengal all-rounder also impressed Delhi Capitals scouts earlier in the season with 78 off 34 balls. He topped the run charts and hit the most sixes in the Bengal T20 League 2026.

Left-arm pacer Ishant Bhardwaj, 22, took three wickets across the two matches. Royals veteran Sandeep Sharma spent extended time speaking with the Haryana quick after the sessions.
