At Rajasthan Royals, Yashasvi Jaiswal would spend so much time with his teammate and England captain Joe Root that they would start calling him ‘Joeswal’. Akash Deep, when at RCB, would relentlessly stalk his team’s main pacer, the Aussie star Josh Hazlewood for advice. Nitish Reddy would ask his captain at SRH, Aussie stalwart Pat Cummins, the secret of getting wickets in England. Delhi Capitals this year had Kevin Pietersen as the team mentor. Kuldeep Yadav didn’t let the opportunity go to waste. He got a lowdown on every English batsman he was to bowl to with the red-ball in the coming months.
