On Tuesday, former India batting star Vinod Kambli has openly challenged Rajasthan Royals batsman Sanju Samson to either score a hundred in the ongoing IPL 2018 or to hold on to the 'orange cap' -- given to a player who has the most runs. Kambli started off by criticizing commentators for being too excessive in their praise for the 23-year-old. Kambli also had several arguments with fans on Twitter who came in numbers to support the Kerala batsman. Rajasthan Royals batsmen Sanju Samson is the current leading run-getter in IPL 2018 with 239 runs in six matches at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 150.31.
Sanju Samson has two half-centuries to his name that includes a brilliant knock of 92 not out that blew away Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, Samson in all likelihood will lose his 'orange cap' to Kane Williamson with the SunRisers Hyderabad in action against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday-night.
The Sunriser Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson, who manage to score 230 runs in five matches this season and will need to score at least 10 to take the 'orange cap' away from Rajasthan Royals leading run scorer Samson. Also not too far behind in the race for the 'orange cap' is India skipper Virat Kohli, who has 231 runs to his name in five matches. RCB will be seen in act
