As the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League approaches, opener Jos Buttler, star leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and captain Sanju Samson joined the Rajasthan Royals camp ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League 2024.
Notably, the franchise reached the finals in the year 2022 but lost to Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans.
RR took to X to announce the arrival of their skipper Samson and the star duo of Chahal and Buttler.
“Darr ka mahol hai Welcome, @yuzi_chahal bhai,” RR wrote on X while announcing Chahal’s arrival.
“Jos is here,” RR captioned the post of Buttler’s arrival.
Ahead of the new season, RR unveiled their ‘Pink Promise’ jersey on Tuesday which they will be wearing during their IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on April 6, which will be dedicated to the “empowered women of Rajasthan and the nation”.
The bandhani pattern on the jersey represents the ancient art of tie-dying, which features traditional Rajasthan attire for women. The jersey will also feature visual representations of solar panels, a source of clean energy given to rural Rajasthan women.
RR strengthened their squad in the IPL 2024 auction by acquiring the likes of Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq and Nandre Burger.
