"Hey Yuzi (Yuzvendra) congratulations for your 150th IPL match today. We are super proud of you. The way you have contributed all these years, to your previous teams and now to Rajasthan Royals, I'm sure they all are super proud of the way you have played,” Dhanshree said in a video posted on RR's X handle.
