Zaheer Khan and Robin Uthappa have returned to their respective domestic teams as the second deal of this year's IPL has been finalised. Brajesh Patel, the chief executive of the Bangalore Royal Challengers, the team Uthappa moves to from the Mumbai Indians, said the deal was "being finalised".
Also there is a strong possibility of Robin Uthappa being made captain of the Bangalore Royal Challengers as Vijay Mallya is keen on giving incumbent skipper Rahul Dravid the boot.
On the other hand the Mumbai Indians have already made one trade-off during the window by swapping their left arm pacer Ashish Nehra with left handed opener Shikhar Dhawan of Delhi Daredevils. Zaheer Khan will now fill the void left by Shaun Pollock who has decided not to return this year.
Bangalore have also signed on Dillon du Preez, an Eagles and Leicestershire fast bowler, du Preez was last season's leading-wicket taker in South Africa's first-class competition as he took 55 wickets at 16.90.
