{{chart:playercard-Yash Raj Punja}}

Yash Raj Punja is a batter in RR's squad with no T20 data available for analysis. The model has no WAR projection, no phase splits, and no performance metrics.

Why He Is Excluded

Without any performance record, Punja cannot enter the selection conversation. RR's batting lineup and bench are already filled with players who have measurable profiles. He ranks at the bottom of the domestic batting depth chart.

What This Means for IPL 2026

Punja is a development pick. His IPL 2026 role is limited to training squad participation. Any debut would require extraordinary circumstances, multiple injuries across the batting order, and the coaching staff would be operating on scouting instinct rather than statistical evidence.
