Swashbuckling keeper-batter Sanju Samson is Rajasthan Royals’ “long-term leader”, the IPL franchise’s director of cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, said on December 2 while terming his retention a “no-brainer”.
Ahead of the IPL 2022 auction, the franchise retained two Indians and one overseas player in the form of their influential skipper Samson, uncapped young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and star Englishman Jos Buttler.
“We worked really hard in terms of working with our newly-formed data analytic team, with the help of all our partners in India and in the U.S. we finally decided, of course Sanju Samson, it was a no-brainer in terms of being our captain, number one,” Sangakkara said in a video posted by RR on twitter.
