IPL 2021: Sanju Samson says it is a challenge to lead Rajasthan Royals

IPL 2021: Samson talks about the goals and how he is looking forward to working with former Sri Lanka captain and current director of cricket at Royals, Kumar Sangakkara.

“I feel we have a really good team, we've got variety and depth in most areas, and the best thing is that everyone is willing to put the last season behind us, and just start anew,” says Sanju Samson.

Sanju Samson has been a loyal Royal. The wicketkeeper-batsman from Kerala has been part of Rajasthan Royals for years now, and irrespective of success and failure, the team has always backed the 26-year-old.

And as he takes charge as the captain of Rajasthan Royals in this edition of the IPL, Samson’s primary target is to guide the team to the playoffs. Having finished at the bottom of the table last year, the Royals have a lot to play for this season, and the new captain hopes that it will be a ride to remember.
