Joe Root arrives to join Rajasthan (Source: Twitter)
Joe Root joined the rest of the Rajasthan squad on March 25, Saturday, ahead of the upcoming edition of the coveted Indian T20 League (ITL). The English batter is not well recognised for his T20 skills and has never participated in the ITL. Nonetheless, he was signed by the Rajasthan franchise based on his base bid in the auction and will wear pink for the 2016 finalists.

As far as his T20 prowess goes, in just 5 innings, Root scored 214 runs in the recently concluded ILT20 in the UAE. The 32-year-old has 893 runs for England in T20I games with a strike rate of 126. Given his calibre and expertise at the highest level, Root can be crucial for the Rajasthan side.
Rajasthan will open their season against Hyderabad on Sunday, April 2
The ITL 2023 season is scheduled to begin in less than a week. The Rajasthan franchise, champions of the first season of the wealthiest franchise cricket league in the world, will start their season on Sunday, April 2, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against Hyderabad.
The Jaipur-based team performed admirably in the previous season of the lucrative tournament and made it to the final, but they could not win the trophy. This year, they made significant additions that improved the team's batting and bowling.
The FanCode Shop, the company's merchandise division, has revealed a long-term relationship with the Rajasthan franchise to open, construct, and operate their Mega Store. In order to create a connected and seamless experience for fans to buy officially licensed Rajasthan products, the partnership will use FanCode Shop's sports commerce and tech capabilities.
Various products, including the official jersey, fan jersey, and fan clothing (t-shirts, shorts, and more), are now available at the mega-store, which is now open at rajasthanroyals.com/shop. FanCode Shop will use the Rajasthan Mega Store to help the team construct and manage a special online store encompassing end-to-end product and customer experience, production, logistics, customer support, and marketing.
