T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup: There have been major squad developments in IPL 2025 on Wednesday as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) signed Mayank Agarwal as an injury replacement for Devdutt Padikkal while Delhi Capitals (DC) announced the signing of Afghanistan opener Sediqullah Atal as a replacement for England batter Harry Brook.
Padikkal played 10 matches for RCB this season and scored 247 runs with the help of two half-centuries. But the left-handed top-order batter is now out of the competition after sustaining an injury to his right hamstring. RCB have now roped in Agarwal, who has played 127 IPL matches so far and scored 2661 runs. He has one IPL hundred and 13 fifties against his name, and even Punjab Kings (PBKS).
On the other hand, Atal, who made headlines with his heroic 85 against Australia in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, has played 49 T20s across various competitions, scoring 1,507 runs at an average of 34.25, including 13 half-centuries.
