‘That’s something I’ve been telling him’, Sreesanth drops crucial advice for Samson

IPL 2023 will begin on March 31 with MS Dhoni‘s CSK taking on defending champions Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. Last year’s runners-up Rajasthan Royals will begin their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 2. The Royals, under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, enjoyed an impressive run last season but failed to clear the final hurdle, suffering a seven-wicket defeat in Ahmedabad.

Sreesanth told Star Sports as he previewed Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2023 –

“Sanju (is) a very attacking captain and sometimes, when the occasion comes, he has to step back a bit. That’s something I’ve been telling him.” Former India bowler Sreesanth has spoke in detail about Samson, revealing that he has had a conversation on what he could improve on.

However, despite his aggressive performances in the IPL, Samson has failed to cement his place in Team India’s playing XI. Samson has failed to make it into the Indian limited overs XI. Samson is also not a part of the team in the ongoing ODI series against Australia.

Sreesanth added – “That’s one, maybe he might have to balance between attacking and defending. Even when it comes to captaincy, he’s still learning. But that will be one very important point when it comes to strengths and weaknesses. Sanju has to balance his thoughts and decision making.”

Sreesanth also picked Samson as the trump card for RR in the season –

He said – “Sanju Samson, I genuinely hope that he does extremely well and gets back to Indian lineup. Scoring lot of runs and lots of performances.”
