- Being able to play in RR with Ashwin and Chahal makes Keshav Maharaj happy.
- Before RR vs. MI, Keshav Maharaj praised both Ashwin and Chahal.
- RR brought in Maharaj to take Prasidh Krishna's place.
Keshav Maharaj of RR expressed gratitude for having the Indian spin tandem, R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, in the same club for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, but he also showed full appreciation for them. Following his unsaleable performance in the IPL 2024 auction, RR signed Maharaj to fill in for the injured Prasidh Krishna. His recent form with the South Africa national team and his captaincy with the SA20's Super Giants in Durban put him in the spotlight ahead of the current season.
Maharaj has shown to be one of RR's reliable spin options since making his debut on April 10 against GT. He has taken two wickets in his first two outings for the team and has a good economy rate. Maharaj recently responded to a few questions that focused on his experiences with RR during the current IPL season in a video that was posted on the official IPL website.
Maharaj conveyed his appreciation for the opportunity to play in RR and for sharing the pitch with players such as Ashwin and Chahal.
"Playing with Ash and Yuzi Bhai has been one of the best experiences of my career, in my opinion. They are individuals who have achieved success in a variety of game types, according to Maharaj.

Maharaj went on to say that the spin pair had greatly aided him in developing his playing technique.
"Ash is a brilliant man who always shares his knowledge and experience, and Yuzi Bhai is one of the best spinners in Test cricket. I adore Test cricket." in white-ball cricket currently, trying to emulate things that he does and which have made him as successful as he is today," Maharaj continued.
In IPL 2024, RR has been in incredible form, which has helped them maintain their top spot in the points standings. As RR's bowling team prepares for their eagerly awaited match against MI on Monday, Chahal, Trent Boult, Nandre Burger, and Keshav Maharaj will once again be under close scrutiny.
