Chitwan Rhinos have announced the list of retained players for the upcoming season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL). Leading the charge for the Rhinos will be captain and marquee player, Kushal Malla, who has been retained for season 2. Rijan Dhakal, Deepak Dumre, Amar Singh Routela, and Gautam KC will all stay with the team, bringing their experience and skills into the next season.
Known for his power-hitting and medium pace, Rautela was one of the Rhinos’ most impactful middle-order players. Scoring 85 runs at a brisk 149.12 strike rate. AMAR SINGH RAUTELA All-rounder. Role : Bowler. Batting : Right hand Bat. Bowling : Right arm Medium. Chitwan Rhinos had a strong run in the first season, making it to the playoffs before bowing out in the eliminator match to Karnali Yaks.
Discussion:
- How important will Routela’s power-hitting be to Chitwan Rhinos’ middle order this season?
- Do you think retaining domestic performers like Rijan Dhakal and Amar Routela gives the Rhinos an edge over other teams?
- Should the Rhinos use Routela primarily as a bowling all-round option or as a finisher with his strike rate?
- Which match-up in NPL Season 2 would you most like to see Routela prove himself against?
Keep the discussion factual, respectful, and cricket-focused.
