Royal Challengers Bengaluru have signed Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani as a replacement for South African pacer Lungi Ngidi for the IPL 2025. He has been roped in by RCB for INR 75 Lakh. Lungi Ngidi, who is set to depart RCB by May 26 due to international commitments, is likely to feature for South Africa in the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s next month.

Ngidi, however, will be available for RCB in their upcoming clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad at home on May 23. Muzarabani, who has featured in 70 T20Is, has enormous experience with 78 wickets. He has also played for Zimbabwe in 12 Tests and 55 ODIs.
