One of the fastest bowlers in the country, Navdeep Saini will be an important cog in the newly formed fast bowling line-up of his new franchise, Rajasthan Royals. Having recently been a part of the Delhi squad during the league stage of the Ranji Trophy, where he picked up 5 wickets in two matches, the Karnal Express hopes to get better as he shifts his focus to the white-ball game, aiming to contribute and help the Royals in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Speaking on the opportunity of playing for the Royals, Saini said, "It's wonderful to play for a franchise like Rajasthan Royals, who were the first-ever champions of the IPL. I'm looking forward to working with the very experienced coaching group and a talented group of players. The Royals are known for fostering a fantastic atmosphere around the group, and I'm simply looking to experience that and connect with everyone and get going this season." Being a bowler who relies on swing and accuracy, Saini said he's looking forward to working with one of the biggest names in T20 cricket.
