Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has praised the captain of Rajasthan Royals Sanju Samson. He claimed his as the most complete batter in the IPL 2024. While commentating on Star Sports during the DC vs. In The RR match, Hayden described Samson as the “master blaster” of the tournament due to his effortless skills in handling both fast and spin bowling.
In the IPL 2024 season, Samson displayed outstanding form and has gathered 471 runs across 11 games. Despite boasting a significantly higher strike rate, he currently ranks third on the Orange Cap list, with Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad leading the chart. In an exhilarating encounter against DC, Samson almost brought his team to win but was embroiled in controversy when he was dismissed at 86 runs off just 46 balls.
With 86 off 46, Sanju Samson was hitting the ball well. He keeps showing his value by winning games, like he did against LSG. He’ll be saddened, though, if he can’t lead Rajasthan to victory. He’s been the master blaster of this tournament, skillfully controlling pace and spin,” claimed Hayden.
He times his innings perfectly. He has the power. In T20 cricket, power is also very important. What is noteworthy, though, is his dedication. He simply needed some luck, particularly in the last part of the game,” he further added.
Despite their recent loss to DC, RR currently holds the second position in the league table. Their slightly lower net run rate (NRR) places them just behind the leaders, but they are level on points with KKR.
