This is the crossover episode no one saw coming. After hosting Gareth Southgate at IPL games earlier this month, Rajasthan Royals have another visitor, this time from television royalty. Eugene Levy, star of beloved sitcom Schitt's Creek, dropped by the RR camp where he was met by coach Rahul Dravid, who handed him his own personalised RR jersey, much to the actor's joy and a little befuddlement.

Levy doesn't seem to have a watched a cricket match before, but he had better start now, and what better place to begin than the IPL?
Former English football manager Southgate didn't just stop by earlier, he fully immersed himself in the IPL experience, watching matches at the stadium. He noted the similarities between sports and the learning that teams could share across their areas of expertise, and the lessons he was taking away from the IPL as well.

And if you're wondering why RR coach Rahul Dravid looks like Iron Man mid-assembly, he's been off his feet for most of this season after tearing a tendon in his leg while playing a spot of club cricket in Bengaluru. Much like Iron Man, it hasn't kept him from his duties though. He's been present for the pre-season camps and of course every RR match since, leaping out of his wheelchair when young Vaibhav Suryawanshi scored that unforgettable maiden hundred.
