IPL Mega Auction - Sehwag Chuckles As Ashwin Joins Buttler's Rajasthan Royals

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag on Saturday gave a quirky take to Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction after spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was picked by Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming season.

Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals were involved in a bidding war for Aswhin and in the end, the off-spinner was acquired by the Royals for the price of Rs 5 crores.

Ashwin will now team up with England batter Jos Buttler, whom the India spinner had 'Mankaded' in the 2019 season.

Sehwag shared a 'meme' featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi in which the former congress President had hugged the latter.
