Sanju Samson, the franchise captain, was praise by Kumar Sangakkara, the director of cricket and head coach of the Rajasthan Royals, who called him “one of the best T20 players.”
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 looming, Rajasthan Royals (RR) director of cricket and head coach Kumar Sangakkara praised franchise captain Sanju Samson. Calling him “one of the best T20 players.”
Samson, who made his RR debut in 2013, will captain the side for the second year in a row, and Sangakkara is hoping that the Indian will shine not only with the bat. But also with his leadership qualities.
“Whether he is the captain or the future of RR. He is one of the best T20 players.” Sangakkara said during a Red Bull Cricket Clubhouse conversation.
Sangakkara continued his praise by highlighting certain qualities that Samson possesses that come in handy when leading from the front.
One interesting point raised by the former Sri Lankan captain was Samson’s willingness to “grow” into the role of a much-improved leader despite the fact that he “doesn’t know everything.”
“He is a magnificent player, destructive, match-winner. And also possesses all of the qualities that a batter should possess.” Before I took over last season. He was captain.
“One Of The Best T20 Players,” says Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara, ahead of the IPL 2022 season.
I’ve grown to respect and admire him as a person. He’s very enthusiastic about RR. He started here, and he appreciates it.
He’s a captain who isn’t afraid to admit that he doesn’t know everything and that he’ll pick things up along the way. He was born with innate leadership abilities. He’ll only get better,” he continued.

“He’s a quiet, unassuming man who doesn’t say much. Working with him has been a lot easier and more enjoyable because he’s perfectly suite for this position. He also has a sense of humour, which he occasionally shows. He’s very self-assured, and he wants to win. All I can do is offer him the best possible support so that he can develop into the leader he knows he is capable of becoming.” Sangakkara claims that.
