Regarding Root, he holds significant importance in the current season’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) squad. However, due to the presence of a highly talented top-order, which includes his fellow national teammate Jos Buttler, he has been unable to secure a place in the starting lineup for his franchise in the lucrative league. Nevertheless, there are indications that he may finally get a chance, as he was observed training hard during net sessions before their upcoming match scheduled for Wednesday, April 19th.
Rajasthan Royals’ official Twitter handle posted a video clip showcasing the star batsman executing the well-known ‘helicopter’ shot, made famous by the former Indian captain MS Dhoni. The video went viral on social media platforms, with numerous fans drawing comparisons to Dhoni’s signature shot, and even speculating about the likelihood of the star batsman featuring in the upcoming match.
