IPL 2022: Sanju Samson welcomes new Rajasthan Royals players in morphed video

The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is approaching with each passing day and fans can’t keep calm. The 15th edition of the gala tournament is expected to get underway in the last week of March. Hence, the franchises would be busy finalizing plans and strategies for the season. Meanwhile, all 10 squads were finalized in the mega auction last week.

Rajasthan Royals were one of the most impressive franchises at the event as they made some brilliant picks and walked away with a formidable squad. While dashers like Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer will serve the team in the batting department, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin are the big names in the bowling attack.

Sanju Samson steps into Shah Rukh Khan’s shoes in hilarious video

Meanwhile, the official Twitter page of RR, on Tuesday (February 15), shared a morphed video of famous Bollywood song ‘Om Shanti Om’ that left fans in splits. In the original version, Shah Rukh Khan greets a bunch of Bollywood stars in a party. As far as RR’s creativity is concerned, team skipper Sanju Samson replaced Shah Rukh and he’s welcoming the new players in the team.

The clip is nothing but hilarious as Samson can be seen dancing along the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Jimmy Neesham, Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin. Even Kumar Sangakkara, team’s director, makes an entry in the latter half of the song. Needless to mention, the clip went viral in no time with fans praising RR’s admin.

Meanwhile, RR lifted the IPL title in the inaugural season but have been away from glory since then. As they have a strong squad this time around, Samson’s men would be determined to go all the way.
