Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to go one better during the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League, having ended the previous campaign as runner-up. Ahead of the start of the new season, RR players are gelling well as the 2008 champions look to lift their second IPL title this year. In a video shared on Instagram, RR players were seen dancing to PSY’s popular track, Gangnam Style. In the video, the likes of KC Cariappa and Riyan Parag can be seen shaking a leg to the viral song from 2012.
