Regarding the video, Rajasthan fans adore the friendship between Yuzvendra Chahal and Joe Root. The squad has a family-like vibe; as one fan said, adding, "Family never stops supporting one another." He also sent his best wishes for Rajasthan's remaining season.

In Rajasthan's final match at Eden Gardens versus Kolkata Knight Riders, Yuzvendra Chahal wrote history. The Rajasthan unit's preferred bowler was an Indian spinner.

With four wickets under his belt, he destroyed Kolkata's middle order and declared the game over. With the outstanding performance, Chahal surpassed Caribbean all-rounder Dwayne Bravo to become the IPL's all-time leader in wickets taken. While Bravo, a legendary player for the Chennai Super Kings, finished his IPL career with 183 wickets overall, Chahal has 187 IPL wickets in 143 games.

In contrast, Joe Root just participated in his first IPL match. The English batsman was a part of Rajasthan's starting lineup for their May 7 game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, Root could not bat because the top-order batters seemed to be in excellent shape. In the accelerated round of the mini-auction, held in December last year, Rajasthan acquired Root for Rs 1 crore.
