Sanju Samson will lead the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021. Although the Kerala star has captained at the domestic level, this will be his first time captaining an IPL franchise.
A fan asked Kumar Sangakkara whether he was excited to work with the 26-year-old, to which the Sri Lanka legend answered in the affirmative.
Although Rajasthan Royals have players like Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, their Indian contingent is inexperienced compared to other teams.
