Sanju Samson : Indian Premier League is the richest cricket league in the world. Once you get a chance to play in this, the financial situation of the players will change at once. That's why many players think that they want to play in this cricket league. As money is getting money and name is getting name, they are desperate to get a chance in IPL. Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson is also one in this list. At present, under his leadership, the Rajasthan team is continuing at the second position in the points table. A play off berth was never finalised. This season, Apritita is winning and taking steps towards the title.. But Sanju did not get an easy entry into the Rajasthan team.. For this he had a lot of trouble. At the end he also told stories. He revealed this himself.
He announced this in an interview given to a sports channel. “In 2009, I was selected for the Kolkata team. It would have been very difficult for me to get a place in the playing XI. However, Sreesanth once introduced me to Rajasthan team captain Rahul Dravid in a hotel lobby. He lied to Rahul Dravid about me hitting six sixes off six balls in a local tournament. I had to admit that too. Moreover, Sreesanth asked Dravid to definitely take me in your team. Rahul Dravid agreed to that. Then I was tested by Rahul Dravid. But I didn't play that well. However, Sreesanth convinced Rahul Dravid. So I entered the Rajasthan team. In the early days, the Rajasthan team did not achieve as much success as expected. The Rajasthan team that won the cup in the inaugural year of the IPL.. has not performed at that level again,” said Sanju.
In 2013, Sanju entered the Rajasthan team after Rahul Dravid said OK. He played in that team till 2016. Sometimes you don't even get a chance to bat. Later, Sanju played for the Delhi team in 2016. Before going as the captain of the Rajasthan team in 2021, he scored 342 runs in 2019 season and 375 runs in 2020 and created an irrevocable record in his name. He became the captain of the Rajasthan team in 2021. Under his leadership, the Rajasthan team put on a brilliant performance. In the current season is being supported. Played 10 matches and continues to be second in the points table with 8 wins. Play off the best is finalized. Currently, in the background of Rajasthan's successive victories, Sanju's comments have gone viral on social media.
