IPL 2022: Kumar Sangakkara confident of turnaround with competent squad

Rajasthan Royals director of cricket and head coach Kumar Sangakkara believes they have a "very competent" squad at their disposal to script a turnaround after three dismal IPL seasons. Rajasthan finished 7th, 8th and 7th in the last three seasons. The IPL's upcoming edition begins on March 26. "We know we had quite a bit of work to do in the off-season with regards to our team. I think we managed to identify the key areas which needed our attention and having had a proper process when it comes to selecting players at the auction, we managed to kind of hit the markers that we set for ourselves," said the Sri Lankan legend in a team statement. "I think the franchise has done an amazing job to put this exciting and strong squad together," he added.
