In an interview, Sanju Samson revealed many secrets related to being handed over the captaincy of Rajasthan Royals.
Dhoni congratulated Samson on getting the captaincy
Associated with IPL, even though Sanju Samson has passed 7 years while playing this tournament. But, this 8th year of his IPL career is going to bring a new experience. New experience because this time he will not only be a player of Rajasthan Royals but will also have the reins of his captaincy. This will be the first time in Samson’s career when he will be seen captaining. In January this year, Rajasthan Royals made Steve Smith their captain. He has replaced Steve Smith for IPL 2021 in this post.
The major problem of Rajasthan Royals in IPL has been about its consistency. In IPL 2020, she was at the bottom of the tournament. In such a situation, it will be a big challenge for the right-handed wicket-keeper batsman to get him back on track this time. Sanju Samson has been a part of Rajasthan Royals since 2013. He was also the top scorer of his team last season. Samson scored 375 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2020.
Consensus made Samson captain
Sanju Samson has consistently performed for Rajasthan. This is the reason why the franchise owners saw in him the new captain of their team and entrusted them with this new responsibility. Although Sanju is certainly seen captaining for the first time on the IPL stage, but this star player from Kerala has been playing the captaincy stakes in domestic cricket.
Special message from MS Dhoni
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sanju Samson revealed many secrets related to handing himself the captaincy. In which he also spoke about the congratulatory messages received from fellow and especially big cricketers. Samson said that when he got the captaincy, he also got a message from MS Dhoni.
Apart from Dhoni, Virat and Rohit also got a message
According to Samson, Dhoni congratulated him by sending a special message. The wicket-keeper batsman and now the captain of RR also informed that apart from Dhoni, he also received congratulatory messages from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Samson said that now I am very keen to captain the team for which I have been playing since 2013.
