IPL 2021: Scott Kuggeleijn age, height, hometown and T20I stats

Earlier today, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) added New Zealand fast bowler Scott Kuggeleijn to their IPL 2021 squad. RCB roped him in as a replacement for Kane Richardson, who has left for Australia.

Scott Kuggeleijn will not have to quarantine before joining the Royal Challengers because he was a member of the Mumbai Indians' bio-bubble this year. Recently, James Neesham posted a photo of Kuggeleijn playing snooker with him on Instagram.
