Trent Boult, James Neesham, and Daryl Mitchell, the Rajasthan Royals’ Kiwi three, were seen in a humorous music video before their last league stage IPL match. As they played one of the most popular songs in Bollywood history, the Rajasthan players brought lip-sync to a whole new level.
The Rajasthan Royals’ official Twitter account shared a video of Boult, Neesham, and Mitchell performing the classic song “Aye Meri Zohrajabeen” from the 2006 film Phir Hera Pheri. Wearing sunglasses, the trio can be seen emulating the main cast of Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, and Akshay Kumar.
“Three new members have joined the Dhoom Dhadaka gang!” Rajasthan’s official Twitter handle wrote in the caption, “#RoyalsFamily Jimmy Neesham Daryl Mitchell.”
Rajasthan will face reigning champions Chennai Super Kings in their final league match of the IPL 2022 season on Friday. Rajasthan, in the third position, has already qualified for the playoffs with 16 points from 13 games. However, a win over Chennai will help Sanju Samson’s side secure a spot in the first Qualifier. Securing a berth in the first qualifier will also provide the champions of the first IPL with two chances to qualify for the final.
Rajasthan won their last match by 24 runs over Lucknow Super Giants on May 15. Rajasthan batted first and put up a strong score of 178 runs, losing six wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal is Rajasthan’s first batter (41 runs off 29 balls)turned out to be the game’s top scorer for his team.
Rajasthan bowlers Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Obed McCoy each took two wickets as Lucknow was restricted to 154/8 in 20 overs.
The Gujarat Titans, captained by Hardik Pandya, were the first team to qualify for the IPL playoffs this season. Lucknow was also invited to the knockout stage later on. The fourth and last playoff position is up for grabs between the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
