Mumbai: Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers praised Malayali cricketer Sanju Samson’s captaincy. Sanju Samson is one of his favorite cricketers, said de Villiers during the post-IPL discussion. “We all know about Sanju’s talent. But not many have talked about Sanju’s performance as the hero. Sanju’s calmness is the first thing that comes to my mind. “I have never seen over-enthusiasm,” de Villiers responded.
“Not to get too excited about anything is one of the most important qualities of a hero. Sanju Samson is also good at strategizing during the match. He will become a more experienced captain. Having world class players including Jos Buttler with Sanju is an advantage. One can learn many things from such stars.
“Sanju has all the signs of becoming a great captain. Who knows he might not captain Team India in any format in the future. Captaincy will also benefit Sanju’s career. I am looking forward to seeing him again in the Indian jersey.” – de Villiers responded.
In the first match of the season, Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals had a huge win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. But in the second match, Rajasthan Royals lost to Punjab Kings by five runs. Sanju also shone with a half-century in the first match itself. Sanju scored 55 runs off 32 balls. In the second match, the player scored 42 runs in 25 balls.
With this, Sanju Samson became the highest run scorer for Rajasthan Royals. Sanju has so far scored 3138 runs for Rajasthan in 118 matches. Sanju’s achievement surpassed former Indian player Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane scored 3098 runs for Rajasthan in 106 games.
