Captain Rajasthan Royals, who joined the franchise in 2013, remembered how his early career shaped opportunities created by older players. Before RR he had Samson Stint with Kalkata Knight riders, but did not intervene in playing XI. His breakthrough came after he impressed former teammate Keraly Sreesanth, who later introduced him to Rahul Dravid during the RR attempts.“Rahul Sir Used to Just Practice, Practice, Practice, and That Is How I Saw Him When I Was and 14-Year-Old Kid.
