The Rajasthan Royals side groomed many youngsters in the past, from Swapnil Asnodkar to Yusuf Pathan to Ravindra Jadeja. They all represented the Royals side in the inaugural edition in 2008. From which the likes of Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja went on to make it big at a later stage.
Someone like Jadeja who is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket was considered a ‘Rockstar’ by their then captain Shane Warne. Such was Jadeja’s charisma that even today, Shane Warne feels that Ravindra Jadeja should’ve stayed with the Royals side a little longer or should’ve still been a part of the franchise in Pink.
