Bengaluru: The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Thursday roped in young Madhya Pradesh batsman Harpreet Singh Bhatia as a replacement for injured Sarfaraz Khan for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017.

Sarfaraz, 19, suffered a leg injury during an inter-squad practice game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium ahead of the season and has since not featured for last year's finalists in any of the six games so far.
