I will be installing the insulation if use sistering Stud then I won’t be able to install the insulation without squeezing/cutting insulation. This is the reason I don’t want to use sistering Stud. Is there any metal plate etc I can use to replace 3 feet rotted stud ?

I have to replace the stud’s base wood too.

Thank you for your help.

Solve some questions first to determine best fix.

Why did you cut out drywall?  Broken pipe? Occasional flood of lowland?

How do you know their is no rot above?  Why not jerk rest off to make new match easier and faster?

Put ground contact green treated if replacing bottom plate.  Jerk top off and replace using blue studs full length.  
I would use roxel  insulation if any chance of moisture again

How do you know the wall left of this one isn’t same shape?

Or framed all different if that is in a basement
