Joe Root gives huge remark on Sanju ahead of IPL 2023, names RR’s most exciting prospect

In a way, Sanju Samson’s job as RR captain is very easy and very difficult at the same time. They have players like Jos Buttler, Joe Root and R Ashwin who have a lot of leadership experience. He can approach him anytime for guidance. On the other hand, he also has to create a position for himself to lead these champion cricketers. Root thinks Samson has already made it.

Joe Root said –

“Last year was an exceptional year for the franchise and I’ve always enjoyed watching Sanju (Samson) play. I think he’s a hell of a talent and seems to keep growing every year as a player and as a leader.” Root, who will make his maiden appearance in IPL 2023, said the RR captain is an exciting prospect.

Root spoke of the homely environment in the RR set-up – “It’s a real family environment. Everyone seems to want to create that feel around things that it’s more than just performances on the field. It’s been a very warm welcome from the very first call, they said they were delighted to get me in the auction and I’m really looking forward to catching up further down the line.”

Joe Root added –

“I’ve been here for a couple of days and feel very much a part of things already. I think it’s a really nice environment to play cricket and I’m looking forward to it. I am being extremely well looked after and eventually that helps me excel on the field.”
