Sanju Samson, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals, downplayed the topic about the team’s title drought, saying the franchise allows him freedom and doesn’t put him under too much pressure. The winners of the inaugural edition began the IPL 2022 season with a commanding 61-run win over SunRisers Hyderabad in Pune, prompting Samson’s comments.
Prior to the 2017 season, Sanju Samson, who has played with the Rajasthan Royals since 2013, was voted captain of the team, following Australia’s Steve Smith. Due to a spate of injury issues, the Kerala batsman was unable to turn around the team’s fortunes, and they finished second to last in 2021. After finishing seventh, eighth, and seventh, Rajasthan qualified for the play-offs for the first time in 2018.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, appear like a well-rounded group after acquiring lots of firepower and experience, and they lived up to the billing on Tuesday, convincingly outclassing SRH in a one-sided battle to start their season with a bang.
“Every season, I believe, we arrive with big dreams. I believe it is a franchise that truly cares about its players. It doesn’t put me under as much stress as you are right now. It prefers things to be as straightforward as possible. Throughout the tournament, they have faith in the players “In response to commentator Danny Morrison, Sanju Samson stated.
“We’ll approach each game one at a time. We know it’s going to be a tough tournament with a lot of talented teams, so I think we’ll keep things simple and see how things go “Added he.
Rajasthan Royals kept players like Jos Buttler, Yasasvi Jaiswal, and skipper Samson while adding plenty of veteran players like Trent Boult, R Ashwin, and Yuzvendra Chahal at the super auction. Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, and Prasidh Krishna were also added, giving them early results in the first match.
Before RR went to the auction table, Samson said he gave his inputs, and having a solid leader like Kumar Sangakkara, their Director of Cricket, helped them.
“Yes, I did have a say. Sanga (Sangakkara), as a leader, provided me with the ultimate option. Fortunately, a lot of cricketing minds have come together to form a strong group “Added he.
Samson, who was recently recalled to the Indian national team, kept up his strong form, hitting 55 in just 27 balls. The skipper ripped the SunRisers attack apart, hitting five sixes and three boundaries as the Royals amassed 210 runs.
Samson went on to say about his behind-the-scenes work: “There are no long-term objectives; all I want to do is win as much as possible and contribute to the team’s victory. I’m working on my fitness, game awareness, conditions knowledge, and scoring options. Not in a hurry. I’d like to spend a lot of time in the middle, knowing that I can always catch up.”
Meanwhile “I believe we got off to a great start with the ball. We’ve seen swing and assistance with the new ball in all games – you have to try to make some breakthroughs. We appeared to be a good bet, but there were some minor flaws.
It had a good playing surface, and they are a tough team to stop “For us, we need to think about it logically, and there are a few things we can do better. T20, on the other hand, throws some curveballs at you, so keep your chin up and move on to the next game. According to Williamson.
“We need to sit down because we have a few days off before the next game.” We all know how unpredictable T20 can be. We were put under pressure in the second half of the first innings, and as a new squad, we need to be very clear about what we want to do. He went on to say, “We want to learn.”
