Lasith Malinga joining a franchise other than Mumbai Indians may come as a shock to many, given his cordial relations with the franchise. However, Kumar Sangakkara is RR's director of cricket and so the appointment of Lasith Malinga in the coaching staff seems not-so-surprising. While talking about Rajasthan's bowling attack, Prasidh Krishna, Navdeep Saini, Trent Boult and Obed McCoy comprise the fast bowling attack and may prove to be formidable.
Rajasthan Royals will place their first match in the IPL 2022 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 29th at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. Sanju Samson will be leading the Rajasthan franchise while Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal were the other two players who were retained by the franchise prior to IPL 2022 mega auction.
Rajasthan also acquired experienced spinners such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal through the IPL 2022 auction. Apart from this, Shimron Hetmeyer, Rassie van der Dussen, Jimmy Neesham and Daryl Mitchell are among overseas names that can do well for the team in the 2022 edition of the IPL.
