Gujarat Titans have signed Sri Lankan Kusal Mendis, who will replace wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler once the latter leaves for the England duties.
Buttler will not be available for the playoffs should the Titans enter that phase.
Mendis is joining the Gujarat outfit for Rs 75 lakh.
Punjab Kings have drafted in New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson as a replacement for the injured Lockie Ferguson, the BCCI announced on Thursday.
The Punjab side was forced to seek a substitute for Ferguson as the Kiwi pacer has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL with a hamstring injury.
The 33-year-old had picked up the niggle during Punjab’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 12 and exited the field after bowling just two balls.
