Indian Premier league (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore Thursday acquired the services of batsman Mandeep Singh from Kings XI Punjab in the trading window for the 2015 edition of the tournament.
"Royal Challengers Bangalore have traded Mandeep Singh from Kings XI Punjab, in what is the sixth trade prior to the start of the 2015 season of the IPL," Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.
Mandeep, 23, has been a consistent cricketer at the domestic and junior levels, and in the IPL, over the years. He won the Emerging Player Award for his performance in the 2012 season.
The second trading window before the IPL season closes Friday. There will be a third trading window immediately after the players' auction, which will take place Feb 16.
