Acknowledge the signing, Renegades List Manager Andrew Lynch in an official statement said, "We're very pleased with the depth we'll have at our disposal this season."

A calculated Abhishek fifty at Chennai restores India's WC hopes

Abhishek, by his mighty standards, smashed his slowest T20I fifty in 26 balls, striking three fours and four sixes on his way to the milestone. But it was the way he paced his innings, gave himself some time out there in the middle, and the areas of the ground that he attacked, which made this knock of 55 runs a sign of bigger things to come in this tournament. For three matches, the left-hander could not buy a run. In the fourth against Proteas, he swung out of desperation and hope in a short 12-ball 15. Now at Chennai, Abhishek gave himself a massive confidence booster with a well-calculated assault, which gave him time to both attack, slow down and enjoy his teammates' hitting from the other end.
