Earlier, the Southpaw also expressed his excitement to be a part of Rajasthan Royals and said he is looking forward to learn from the senior members of the side.

“I am looking to learn as much as I can from the senior players around me. They have a lot of experience across formats, something I am looking to consume and apply to myself. There is a big difference between U-19 cricket and senior-level cricket and I’ll probably have to start from scratch. For me, it’s about working hard and learning from other senior players. Luckily I have a lot of players around me here in Rajasthan Royals from whom I can learn more about international cricket,” Yashasvi said in an interaction with ANI.

For Yashasvi, it would be an opportunity to interact with senior players such as Jos Buttler, Robin Uthappa and Sanju Samson, among others, in the team. He stated that he would be eager to learn the mindset that international players carry onto the field.

“I would be watching them closely and would be looking to talk to them and learn from their experience over the years, hopefully, learn a lot regarding the mindset that they carry out on the field. Also, the atmosphere has been so nice, we have full freedom to express ourselves and go up to Sanju (Samson), Robin Bhaiya (Uthappa) to ask anything that we want.” he added.

The franchise will play their first match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on September 22 in Sharjah.
