With Ashish Nehra's rise as RCB's bowling coach, it wasn't a surprise that he plumped for the inclusion of Delhi left-arm pacer, Khulwant Khejoriya, into the squad.

Eventually, RCB got their man for 85 lakhs - strengthening their pace bowling department. He didn't have a big role to play during the 11th edition of the cash-rich league, but he impressed the team management enough to be retained as part of the core team ahead of the next season in 2019. He also played a fringe part with Mumbai Indians before.
