Apart from the excitement of playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is the experience of rubbing shoulders with legends of the game which gets young cricketers excited. Rajasthan Royals' new recruit, Shubham Garhwal, is no different.
Picked by the 2008 IPL champions during the mega auction in February, the left-handed Jodhpur-native is eager to pick the brains of Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara, who will be the head coach as well as the director of cricket at the Royals.
"I take a lot of pride in representing the Royals. I am from Rajasthan myself and it's the biggest moment of my life. The happiness that I've seen on my parents' faces is something that inspires me to give my all for the team. I am really looking forward to working with Sanga Sir as well. He's been one of the greatest left-handers in the sport, and I'm sure his advice will take my game to the next level," said Garhwal in a release by the franchise on Sunday.
