Rajasthan Royals are gearing up for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, which kicks off from March 26 in Mumbai. The first-season champions will start their marketing campaign towards Sunrisers Hyderabad on the MCA Stadium in Pune on March 29.
The Royals had a exceptional public sale in Bengaluru final month wherein they made some attention-grabbing buys. The franchise roped within the likes of Shimron Hetmyer, Rassie van der Dussen, Devdutt Padikkal and Daryll Mitchell amongst others. The highlights of their new-faced squad are Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal – two of the main spinners of Team India.
In a dialog with ‘Red Bull Cricket’ on Clubhouse, RR’s director of cricket Kumara Sangakkara spoke in size in regards to the staff composition, particularly the younger batters who will play an important position in staff’s journey in IPL 2022.
“Any aspect from the game from players like Devdutt Padikkal, Hetmyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal that you would’ve liked to have if you were playing,” the interviewer requested.
In reply, Sangakkara stated, “Devdutt Padikkal’s leg-side play, his flicks and his ability against pace are wonderful. Jaiswal.. his power and enthusiasm, in terms of the off-side play. Hetmyer’s ability to hit sixers and Parag’s ability to hit sixers for fun.”
“I’ve watched Devdutt Padikkal over the last two seasons. He’s such an exciting player, so accomplished. I just want him to know how valuable he is for the team,” he added.
