IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals’ star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin pens autograph on the IPL 2022 Orange Cap winner’s jersey.
Recently, he was seen signing the jersey of his teammate Jos Butler in the dressing room of Rajasthan Royals.
Happened after the conclusion of the IPL final:-
This event of the Rajasthan Royals team took place on 29 May (Sunday) in Ahmedabad (Ahmedabad) after the conclusion of the final (GT vs RR Final) of the Indian Premier League.
Jos Buttler was a retained player of Rajasthan Royals and Ashwin was bought by the franchise during the IPL 2022 mega auction.
The right-handed batsman had a stellar season as he clinched the Orange Cap by scoring 863 runs at an average of 57.33 and a strike rate of 149.05.
Royals off-spinner Ashwin took 12 wickets:-
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ashwin took 12 wickets and scored 191 runs.
Before the tournament, cricket fans wanted to see Butler and Ashwin play for Rajasthan Royals.
Notably, the off-spinner had run out Butler at the non-striker’s end during the IPL 2019 edition.
However, both the professional cricketers feel that a close bond has developed between the two throughout IPL 2022.
Lush McCrum said in a conversation with the media:-
CEO Jake Lush McCrum told the media that “We spoke to Jose ahead of the auction and told him all of our players’ preferences.
To be honest, he didn’t even think about it (his run out by Ashwin at the non-striker’s end in 2019) and he said, ‘It’s all right.
