IPL 2021: “A lot of different thoughts are on my mind, but I would like to keep it simple,” Sanju Samson on leading Rajasthan Royals
Sanju Samson will lead Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming season of IPL 2021
Newly introduced Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Sanju Samson recently expressed his thought and said that he wants to learn as much as he can from RR’s Director of Cricket and Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkar in the upcoming season of IPL 2021.
Talking about IPL 2021, Steve Smith lead the Rajasthan Royals but the franchise surprised everyone by releasing him just before the IPL 2021 auction. Now, with Steve Smith being released, Sanju Samson has been appointed as the new skipper of the Rajasthan based franchise.
In an interview taken recently, the newly appointed skipper, Samson said that a lot of different thoughts are going through his head right now, but he would like to keep things simple going into the new season of the IPL 2021.
“Yes, I am very much looking forward to leading the Royals. Definitely, a lot of thoughts are going my mind, but I would keep it simple. I am happy to take on this roe. To be very honest, until last year, I never felt that I may possibly be the leader of the Royals,” Sanju told Rajasthan Royals.
Sanju Samson would be working with the Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara, who also was appointed by RR as their director of cricket for IPL 2021. Reminiscing about the first time he met Sangakkara, Sanju said it was a dream come true for him and he was looking forward to work with the legend like Sangakkara.
“My first memory of Sanga is definitely his cover drive and I loved his batting. This is a dream come true and it was very exciting to know that I will be working so closely with a legend like Kumar Sangakkara,” he added.
Rajasthan Royals will start their IPL 2021 journey on 12th April against Punjab Kings in Mumbai at Wankhede Stadium. It will definitely be an interesting thing to watch the newly appointed skipper Sanju Samson lead Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021.
