RR splashed a lot of cash as they spent INR 1.5 crore to acquire the services of the Proteas pacer in the IPL mega auction, last year. He was one of the talented crop of pacers RR purchased for the ongoing season and he instantly showcased his class with a key wicket of Owen.

Last season, the Proteas seamer replaced Dilshan Madushanka in the Mumbai Indians lineup. However, he had a mediocre IPL campaign as he only took a solitary wicket in 2 matches but went at an economy of 14.83 as he was dropped immediately from the playing XI. However, RR showed trust in him and paid a hefty amount.
