Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, the official television broadcasters of the TATA IPL 2023, former India pacer S Sreesanth spoke on who the trump card for the Rajasthan Royals is; he said: “Sanju Samson, I genuinely hope he does extremely well and gets back into the Indian line-up, scoring lots and lots of runs with lots of performances.”
Sreesanth also spoke about what the key strength of the Rajasthan Royals team is; he said, “Buttler and Yashasvi opening! It’s going to be one of their best strengths. A youngster with an experienced guy. Even Hetmeyer coming, and Sanju at number 3 coming in. He might even open it sometimes. So, let’s see. I’m looking forward to seeing them, you know, come with flying colors and go from ball one.”
Sreesanth further spoke on how Sanju Samson should approach the IPL as a captain, he said “See, Sanju being a very attacking captain and maybe sometimes when the occasion comes, he has to step back a bit, and that’s something which even I have been telling him. So, that’s one; maybe he has to balance between attacking and defending. Even when it comes to captaincy, he’s still learning, but that will be an important point regarding strength and weakness. Sanju has to balance his thoughts and decision-making.”
