Former England skipper Joe Root might not have gotten a chance to display his batting prowess in the IPL so far but the batting superstar wowed the fans with his groovy moves along with Rajasthan Royals teammate Yuzvendra Chahal.
The decorated English cricketer was signed by Rajasthan Royals at his base price of INR 1 crore, joining his white-ball skipper Jos Buttler at the Rajasthan-based franchise. Although he hasn’t got a chance to make his debut in the competition so far, Root was seen dancing his heart out to the famous song “Bharosa Tere Pyar Te”, along with Chahal.
Indian leggie Yuzvendra Chahal is notoriously famous for his dance moves with his teammates, which often do the rounds on social media. The veteran Indian leggie shares a special bond with his teammates, especially the overseas players, including explosive opener Jos Buttler.
Chahal becomes the leading Indian wicket-taker in IPL history
Talking about Chahal, the willy leg spinner didn’t have the best of games against Punjab Kings as he was taken for 50 runs in his four overs. However, his wicket of Jitesh Sharma saw him overtake the legendary Lasith Malinga to become the second-highest wicket-taker in the competition’s history with 171 scalps to his name. He is now only behind the iconic Dwayne Bravo (183 wickets) and could surpass his tally by the end of IPL 2023.
Meanwhile, Root, who impressed fans with his brilliant dance moves, could be in line to make his debut in the illustrious competition as his compatriot Buttler got multiple stitches on the little finger of his left hand after the game against Punjab. The explosive opener is a doubt for Rajasthan Royals’ game against Delhi Capitals and could see Root take his place in the starting eleven for the game on Saturday, April 8.
