The 26-year-old replaces Vansh Bedi, who was ruled out of the season due to a ligament tear. Urvil was picked at his base price of \u20b930 lakh and had earlier impressed in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"832\">He smashed a record-equalling 28-ball century against Tripura and finished the tournament with 315 runs at an average of 78.75 and a staggering strike rate of 230, emerging as the top six-hitter. Although Gujarat didn\u2019t qualify for knockouts, Urvil\u2019s 29 sixes in six innings caught the IPL scouts\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1004\">This is Urvil\u2019s second IPL stint, having been with Gujarat Titans in 2023.
