"Australia and Rising Pune SuperGiant all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the 10th edition of the IPL owing to a shoulder injury. As Marsh's replacement, the franchise have roped in South Africa leg-spinner Imran Tahir into the squad," the BCCI said in a statement.

Tahir went unsold in the 2017 IPL Player Auction earlier this year. As per the player regulations, RPS is allowed a replacement player from the RAPP (Registered Available Player Pool) list, and Tahir was in that list.

Tahir had earlier represented Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2016.
