Ahead of the season, Saini has said that he wošŸ’ƒuld be focused on learning about various aspects of fast bowling from Boult.Ā 

I am most looking forward to coā™Œnnecting with Trent Boult during the IPL. He is someone who has achieved so much in both international and IPL cricket, and itā€™ll be a great experience to just speak to him about various aspects of fast bowling,ā€ Saini was quoted as saying in a release.

ā€œIā€™ll be most focused onā™ observing him go about his business, and hopefully that should alsšŸ’œo help in improving my own game

Saini has picked 17 wā™šickets in IPL at an economy of 8.47. He was also part of the Delhi squad during the league stage of the Ranji Trophy taking five wickets in two matches. He shared his excitement to play for Royals in the šŸ­upcoming season.Ā 

ā€œIā€™m looking forward to working with the very experienced coaching group and a talented group of players. Tź¦‰he Royals are known for fostering a fantastic atmosphere around the group, and Iā€™m simply looking to experience that and connect with everyone and get going thisšŸŽƒ season.ā€

ā€œIā€™m also reaą¶£lly excited to work with Kumar SangakkarašŸ’ and Lasith Malinga, and pick their brains on various aspects of the game. I think this will be a great opportunity for me to learn and groom myself, further evolving my skills and contributing to the teamā€™s performances,,ā€ Saini added.

Sanju Samson will lead the team in the tournament. Samson will have a strong outfit this season to aidšŸ§ø him to win the title. Saini praised the Kerala Wicketkeeper saying that he creates a fun atmosphere around the team.Ā 

ā€œI share a great rapport with Sanju. I have spent a lotį€£ of time with him atšŸŒŒ the national team and have had a lot of discussions with him off the field,ā€ he stated.

Ā ā€œI feel itā€™s going to be a fresh experience, plaā™’ying under him; heā€™s someone who creates a fun atmosphere around the team which helps everyone settle in quickly and feel a part of the team. Having missed the majority of IPL 2021 due to injury concerns, Saini said heā€™s been putting in the hard yards.ā€

Ā ā€œI wasnā€™t able to play a lot of matches last season, but šŸŒƒI think Iā€™m coming into this season on the back of a lot of hard work thā›Žat Iā€™ve put into myself, both on and off the field.ā€

Rajasthan Royals will start their campaignā™’šŸŒŒ against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 29.Ā
