IPL 2024: 'He Asked Whether...', RR Skipper Sanju Samson Reveals How He Landed Leadership Opportunity In 2021
Indian Premier League: Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has opened up about how he landed a leadership opportunity in 2021 and also shared insights into his journey with the franchise. Under his leadership, the Royals reached the final in the 2022 season where they eventually lost to first-timers Gujarat Titans.
Speaking on Star Sports' ‘Star Nahi Far’ event, Samson said: "I think that happened before this season. I think we were playing in Dubai, and our lead owner, Manoj Badale, came up to me and asked whether I was ready to lead the side. I said I am ready."
Samson has been associated with the Royals since 2013. He was with the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) squad in 2016 and 2017 before moving back to Royals. "So that was it, it was as simple as that, and I felt like I've played enough number of matches and I've spent enough time in this franchise to know that I can do that role, and I was confident that I could do it," he added.
