Rajasthan Royals is gearing up for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, which will start from March 26 in Mumbai. The champions of the first season will start their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 29 at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
The Royals had a remarkable auction in Bengaluru last month in which they made some interesting purchases. The franchise starred the likes of Shimron Hetmyer, Rassie van der Dussen, Devdutt Padikkal and Daryl Mitchell. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, two of Team India’s two leading spinners, are the highlights of their new team.
In an interaction with ‘Red Bull Cricket’ at Clubhouse, RR’s Director of Cricket Kumara Sangakkara spoke at length about the team structure, especially the young batsmen who will be instrumental in the team’s journey in IPL 2022.
“Any aspect of the game you would have loved to play from players like Devdutt Padikkal, Hetmyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal,” the interviewer asked.
In response, Sangakkara said, “Devdutt Padikkal’s leg-side game, his flicks and his ability against pace is amazing. Jaiswal.. His power and enthusiasm in terms of playing off-side. Hetmyer’s ability to hit sixes and Parag’s ability to hit sixes for fun. ,
“I have seen Devdutt Padikkal in the last two seasons. He’s such an exciting player, so accomplished. I just want him to know how valuable he is to the team.”
