Rajasthan Royals’ Yuzvendra Chahal had a good day in the nets at IPL 2022.
Chahal is leading the Indian Premier League (IPL) wicket-takers, but the leg-spinner wants to make an impact for Rajasthan Royals at the plate as well (RR). Using a GoPro camera linked to his helmet, Chahal can be seen trying his luck with the willow in the nets. It wasn’t all bad, though. He tried a few big swings while blocking out most of the pitches. He mimicked Ravindra Jadeja’s sword celebration as he stepped out of the nets after scoring a half-century or a hundred for the Chennai Super Kings.

However, Chahal promptly responded to Jos Buttler by questioning whether or not Buttler was jealous of his new competition for the opening slot.
This season, RR has relied heavily on Buttler and Chahal.
In the IPL 2022 points standings, Sanju Samson’s squad is leading with three victories from four matches. With 11 wickets, Chahal is the season’s leading wicket-taker.
Buttler, on the other hand, has racked up 218 runs so far this season. The swashbuckling Englishman has scored the season’s only century and another half-century so far.
On Thursday, the Royals will face the Gujarat Titans in Navi Mumbai. Table-topping status awaits the victorious team.
