Rajasthan Royals’ captain Sanju Samson hardly fails to entertain the opposition, be it through his batting or his keeping. Sanju Samson is a clean striker of the ball and is an exceptional keeper, with his captaincy skills also showing promises. The right-handed batsman also copped a blow on his crotch in the current encounter against the Mumbai Indians in Delhi; however, he let out a smile.

The incident occurred in the second over, which was delivered by Jaydev Unadkat. The left-arm seamer bowled to Rohit Sharma, who was beaten and the ball went straight to Sanju Samson behind the stumps. Samson could not collect the ball cleanly and instead copped a blow on his groin. Even though the ball seemed to have hit well and felt like a nasty one, he was not much bothered about the same.

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson’s performance was instrumental in carrying the Rajasthan Royals to a competitive total of 172 against the Mumbai Indians in Delhi. The 26-year old struck 42 off 27 balls, laced with five boundaries and shared a vital 49-ball 57 run stand with Shivam Dube. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave their side a flying start, stitching a 66-run opening partnership after Samson lost the toss. Nevertheless, despite losing Rohit Sharma relatively early, Mumbai are well in control of the match.
