IPL 2022: We've Managed To Create A Team That Can Win The Trophy - Yashasvi Jaiswal

Rajasthan Royals (RR) opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is looking forward to the new IPL 2022 season for which he believes the team is strong enough to go all the way and lay claim to their second trophy.

Jaiswal was one of the three players retained by Rajasthan ahead of the mega auction, alongside Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler. He was impressive in the previous season that was held in the UAE, where he played with a strike rate of 148.

“I’m looking forward to this season with great confidence and hope. We have managed to create a team that has everything in it to win the trophy.”

“With a good balance of batters and bowlers, we’ve got a team which can produce performances on the field, but the most important thing for us right now is to start well and create momentum for ourselves,” Jaiswal said in a release issued by RR.

Jaiswal also mentioned that he will have to shoulder the responsibility at the top with Buttler. The openers have the important job of getting their teams off to a good start and maximizing the use of the powerplay.

“We all know we are here to win, but it can only happen when we are courageous on the field. I know there will be times when I will have to make brave decisions for the team, and those may not always come off, but I have to keep applying my instincts and try to dominate the proceedings.”

“Of course, I was disappointed (about not getting the chance to play) but I’m looking forward to using the IPL to showcase what I can provide. I know that if I do well, I will take my place in the (Mumbai) team,” Jaiswal added.

Rajasthan’s first game will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on March 29.
