IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal Hacks Rajasthan Royals' Twitter Account; Announces Himself As The New RR Captain

Rajasthan Royals (RR) Twitter account announced their new captain for the IPL 2022, naming their new recruit Yuzvendra Chahal as the leader. However, after some confusion, it was revealed that their account was in hands of the leggie itself, who announced himself as the captain.

Chahal, who was not retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), for whom he played from 2014 IPL onwards, was bought by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) franchise in the IPL 2022 Auction for INR 6.5 crores.

Chahal is one of the most successful leg-spinners in the Indian Premier League and much of his success came for the RCB team, as he has 139 wickets in 114 IPL matches at an economy of 7.59.

Yuzvendra Chahal Has Some Fun With The Rajasthan Royals (RR) Twitter Account; Names Himself New Captain

On March 16, 2022, Yuzvendra Chahal apparently announced that he had the admin password for the RR Twitter account and decided to have some fun with it. First, the RR account tweeted a photo of Yuzvendra Chahal, with a message saying Meet new RR captain.

Even Sanju Samson, the real captain of the RR franchise congratulated Chahal, to which the RR account termed him ‘jealous’.

RR Reveal New Design Jersey For The IPL 2022

On Tuesday, March 15, Rajasthan Royals (RR) unveiled their new jersey for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, which will be the 15th edition of the marquee T20 league. The franchise took to Twitter and shared a brilliantly made video of a motorbiker handing over a packet to captain Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal.

The stunts performed in the video were done by RedBull stuntman Robbie Maddison.

The Rajasthan Royals franchise has retained its blue and pink color combination but has made notable changes in the design. The logo of the title sponsor Happilo has been placed in the middle of the jersey along with other logos of sponsors like Dollar, Jio, and Red Bull on the sides.

Here it is:

Pink & blue. But all-new. ?
