Lhuan-dre Pretorius, an attacking left-handed wicketkeeper-batter from South Africa, is gaining attention for his clean ball-striking and fearless mindset at the top of the order. Known for his ability to take on bowlers from the word go, Pretorius has made a mark in the domestic T20 circuit, boasting a strike rate close to 150. Despite being early in his career, his confident approach and consistency have caught the eye of franchises around the world. His inclusion in TATA IPL 2025 comes as a replacement for Nitish Rana, and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be hopeful that Pretorius’ aggressive style can provide quick starts and depth to their batting line-up.
