Indian Premier league (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson stated that missing out on the first three matches of this season if going to feel a bit different, but he emphasized his trust on stand-in skipper Riyan Parag to guide the team in his absence. Sanju ahs not fully recovered from a finger injury that he suffered during the England series.
“I have never missed a game as a complete player. Coming to the season as not fully fit feels a bit different. But the team looks good. We are also happy to have Rahul Dravid back with us,” said Samson on the eve of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“I am not going to be the captain of Rajasthan Royals forever. There has to be someone who is going to come and someone we’ll have to groom after I leave or after changes are made in captaincy. The franchisee has developed a lot of leaders. But for the next three games, we decided that Riyan Parag is ready and capable to lead the side,” he added.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is going to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) on March 23. The match is to be held in Rajiv Gandhi international Stadium in Hyderabad, and will begin 3:30 PM IST.
