Kohima, Jan. 31 (EMN): Khrievitso Kense, a 16-year-old cricketer from Nagaland, has caught the eyes of Rajasthan Royals for trials after he underwent the same for Mumbai Indians a few days ago.

Sources from Nagaland Cricket Association (NCA) informed Eastern Mirror that the right-arm leg-spinner has been invited for the trial camp of Rajasthan Royals, one of the initial eight IPL franchises.
