Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had a fun time in the nets as skipper Sanju Samson practiced his shots ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season on Monday, March 18.
In a video shared by the Royals on Instagram, Chahal could be seen sarcastically praising Samson during the practice session. RR captioned the post:
“Sanju’s hype man behind the nets, brought to you by his Chintu.”
Watch the clip below:
Last year, Samson had amassed 362 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 153.39, including three half-centuries. His performance helped RR finish fifth in the points table with seven wins in 14 games. The right-handed batter, who was retained for INR 14 crore, has scored 300+ runs every season since 2017. Overall, the 29-year-old has 3,888 runs in 152 games, including three centuries and 20 fifties.
After missing out on a place in the 2023 ODI World Cup, Samson will be keen to make a case for the 2024 T20 World Cup with consistent performances in the T20 extravaganza.
Samson was last seen in action for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy, where he amassed a half-century against Chhattisgarh.
