Even though the Rajasthan Royals haven’t had the best of campaigns this IPL, the Rahul Dravid led side are making the most of the window before the season enters its final stretch. Given the fact that RR is rooted to 9th spot and have just six points to show, RR’s hopes of making it to the playoffs are near zero. However, an unexpected crossover ahead of the game against Punjab Kings on Sunday made for a light-hearted interaction between head coach Dravid and Canadian actor-comedian Eugene Levy. “Schitt just got real! Eugene Levy is a Royal.”, posted RR on Instagram under a clip showing the actor and Dravid in conversation, as the former presents Levy with a customized RR kit that reads ‘Levy’. The actor delightedly received the gift as he vowed to support the royals. He also claimed that RR is the first-ever cricket team that he’ll be supporting. “Now that you’re a Rajasthan Royals fan, we’ve got a special gift for you.” Dravid added, “Hopefully you’ll wear it with pride watching out games.” Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.
