Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga is the bowling coach of the Rajasthan Royals. The head coach is former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara. Rajasthan Royals are one of the first teams to start camp ahead of the IPL season. In a pre-match virtual interview, Sanju said that Malinga’s bowling mantra was very different from what he had ever heard.
New rules and teams
Sanju also welcomed the arrival of two new teams and some new rules in the IPL 2022 season. Teams face different challenges each season. Sanju also said that the arrival of two new teams is not a cause for particular pressure.
Sanju said the new rules would make the match more interesting and competitive, with the new batter reaching the nonstriker end regardless of the crossing if the batter runs out, and the possibility of a runout (mancoding) at the nonstriker end and an increase in the number of DRS for the teams.
Malinga is great
Latis Malinga has given the Rajasthan Royals bowlers a different bowling mantra than they have ever heard in their cricketing career. Samson said. There are only two types of batsmen in cricket, one is right hand batters and the other is left hand batters. So Malinga’s simplest and most beautiful mantra was to learn to bowl only against two batsmen, ”said Sanju. Sanju added that Malinga’s approach makes bowling the simplest and easiest.
Lasith Malinga holds the record for most wickets in IPL history. The first thing the Rajasthan Royals did in preparation for the season was to make Malinga the bowling coach. Malinga was a former Mumbai Indians player.
Team members in the sky
Sanju said the Rajasthan Royals camp is in the air and in a hurry to start the 2022 season IPL. Happy mood is in the camp. The Rajasthan Royals have a good team of players and supporting staff for the 2022 season. That is why all the team members are relaxed. The team members are happy to learn from former superstars like Kumar Sangakkara and Lasith Malinga. “Because the vast majority of the team’s young generation grew up watching them play,” said Sanju.
The goal is to move forward together
The team is focused on moving forward together. The team camp had already started to get to know each other. Understanding what teammates do and what their strengths are is paramount. As well as the coaches and the franchise need to know everything. The goal is for the team to move in the same direction together. That’s why the camp started so early. Sanju added that the team is moving in the right direction.
Powerplay will be crucial
The Rajasthan Royals had held a camp in Nagpur before the team entered the quarantine in Pune. Pune has produced big scores in the IPL before. The pitch will be fresh at the start of the tournament. Therefore, pace bowlers will get more support from the pitch. Pune will be the venue for big scores. “Things will progress based on what happens in the power play,” he said.
The best team won the auction
For the last two to three seasons, Rajasthan have been showing the maximum level of ability. Where there is weakness is found through discussions at different stages. The aim of the management was to solve it. The franchise was able to acquire a good team through the 2022 megastar auction as part of its long-term preparation and clear calculations. I believe we have been able to solidify a good team through that, ”said Sanju.
Devdutt Padikkal, Razi van der Dusan, Shimron Hetmeyer, R.J. Rajasthan has acquired Ashwin, Jimmy Neesham, Darryl Mitchell, Chus Vendra Chahal, Trent Bolt, Prasidh Krishna, Navdeep Saini and Nathan Courter Nile in the 2022 auction. Sanju, Jose Butler and Yashwasi Jaiswal were retained by the team before the auction.
Ryan Parag scored 49 off 27 balls in the training session. Ever since Ryan Parag joined the team, everyone knew big things were going to happen in the future. “Everyone is waiting for that,” he said.
