Raj govt to create unique sports hub in Jaipur
The Rajasthan Government will create a world -class sports hub in the state capital Jaipur in collaboration with owners of the Rajasthan Royals.
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) engaged in a funny banter over star batsmen Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers on social media.
It was when a fan asked Royals to trade wicket-keeper-batsman Sanju Samson to RCB for the next edition of the cash-rich league.
@rajasthanroyals any plans of trading @IamSanjuSamson to #RCB ??

With the auctions slated to take place in Kolkata on December 19, Royals were quick to latch on to the conversation as they hit back tweeting: Ummm, are you up for trading Virat & AB?”

RCB weren’t going to miss out on the fun-bus and they replied: “You can have Mr Nags. PS: We know he will eventually find a way back to us.”
