New Delhi: The occasion came after 14 years when Rajasthan Royals made it to the final of the IPL tournament. Even though they did not manage to win the championship, the Men in Pink left no stone unturned to win the hearts of millions of cricket lovers around the world. There are also no two opinions that the Rajasthan team has performed well throughout the season under samson's leadership. While Samson and English superstar Jos Buttler, on one hand, were the royal's most explosive batsmen, Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult led the best bowling troupe of this IPL season.
After this season, Samson will be known as a man who as a captain always stayed calm with a smiling face and who with his captaincy skills inspired Rajasthan Royals to reach the final. Perhaps that's why he has become the second captain after Warne to take RR to the final. Samson has often been seen as a motivator on the field, who was seen supporting the players who were going through their bad spells. He did not seem to give too much advice to his bowlers and helped them get set in the field as they wished, and kept their advice on the need. He always maintained the confidence of the team and supported his players to move forward peacefully with full confidence. Going by his calculations and natural game, Samson has done many experiments with both batting and bowling, the orders. Whether it was thinking of using Ashwin to enhance the line-up as a pinch hitter or adopting a 'retired out strategy', which can be termed as a big innovation in T20 cricket, the Rajasthan skipper never hesitated to experiment.
Master Batsman of the Season - Sanju Samson
In Sangakkara's words, "He has become very much aware of his role in the team and on the field, he is the captain only while fielding, and when batting, he becomes a free and joyfully playing batsman. "
It would also not be wrong to say that as a captain, Sanju Samson has maintained consistency in presenting his powerful knockout tricks. He has been more impressive than ever in terms of batting, where his consistency, with 912 runs at a strike rate of 141.5 in the last 30 innings, has been significantly better than many other players. Jos Buttler's name comes to the top in terms of his form and natural game at Rajasthan Royals, while Samson is counted among the top 6 players where he has been placed to score according to the situation.
He has also been able to maintain the ideal balance of consistently scoring big with attacking cricket. What makes them most different is their fearless attitude and confidence, especially when it comes to facing everything from fast bowlers to world-class spinners. Sanju has used his role well and has scored 458 runs at an average of close to 30 and a strike rate of 147. Throughout the IPL league, he has also retained his position at the top of the list of top 10 batsmen for the past few years, including a mega bunch of 3526 runs at a strike rate of 135.72. Samson has so far scored 279 fours and 158 sixes with three centuries and 17 fifties.
No two opinions in it, Samson has changed his character a lot over the years. He has responded to his critics with the bat, and has helped his game and team's performances reach a next level. Samson has proved himself as one of the best young captains he has ever seen in India, experimenting separately with his role as a captain.
