IPL 2018: Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant have Great Future with Indian Team - Shane Warne

Rajasthan Royals (RR) mentor, Shane Warne, who is heading back to Australia after the next tie has predicted the future stars of Indian cricket.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan trumped Mumbai Indians (MI) last night to stay in contention for the playoffs. The Royals picked at the right moment after having a sloppy start.

Batting first, Mumbai posted a moderate 168 runs after a brilliant opening stand. Suryakumar Yadav (38) and Evin Lewis (60) added 87 runs for the first wicket.

However, some brilliant bowling by the Royals in the middle-overs contained the free flow of runs. A late cameo from Hardik Pandya (36) ensured they cross the 150-run mark.

Meanwhile, in reply, Jos Buttler single-handedly won the game for the visitors. He remained unbeaten on 94 off just 53 balls including nine fours and five sixes to see his team through.

Skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson also provided good support to the Royals as they reached the target with 12 balls to spare.

As a result, the Royals jumps to the fifth spot with 12 points. They will have to win both their remaining games to qualify for the playoffs

Warne predicts future Indian star

Meanwhile, Warne is due to return to Australia wrote o long goodbye post on social media site Instagram. In brief, he gave his thought on this outstanding T20 league.

Moreover, the former legendary spinner saw future Indian star in Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant. The young duo has had an outstanding series so far and have led the batting unit of their respective franchises.

“Sanju Samson will be the next big Indian superstar batsman along with (Rishabh) Pant,” Warne wrote.

While Pant is currently the Orange Cap holder, Samson finds himself in the 11th spot. The Rajasthan Royals star had an outstanding start to this tournament. However, since Buttler started to open the inning he has got limited opportunities.
