The Rajasthan Royals may be navigating a bumpy ride in IPL 2025, but they recently experienced a delightful detour, thanks to an unexpected celebrity visit. Canadian actor and Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy made a surprise stop at the Royals’ training camp, where he shared a warm and memorable exchange with none other than head coach Rahul Dravid.
Known for his legendary calmness and cricketing intellect, Dravid welcomed Levy with open arms, engaging in a light-hearted conversation that bridged cultures and continents. The interaction culminated in a special gesture: Dravid presented Levy with a personalised Rajasthan Royals jersey featuring his name on the back. Taken by surprise, Levy was visibly touched and, with a smile, declared himself a newly minted RR fan.
