About

Sanju Samson came into reckoning with his gritty knocks for Rajasthan Royals in his debut season for the franchise. The wicketkeeper-batter from Kerala was groomed by Rahul Dravid into a tough campaigner. He joined the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) squad in 2016 and played some crucial innings for the team during his two seasons with them before moving back to Rajasthan Royals. Sanju scored 342 runs in IPL 2019 and then followed it up with 375 runs in the IPL 2020. He was moved into a senior position when named captain for the 2021 season. He led from the front in that season and finished as RR's highest run-getter with 484 runs from 14 innings. He continued his good form in the 2022 edition, helping the Royals reach the final, scoring 458 runs at an average of 28.62 (third-highest run-getter for RR). The consistency continued in 2023 with 362 runs at a healthy SR of 153.38. He continued his rich run of form by scoring 531 runs in IPL 2024 and led them to the playoffs yet again in that edition. Retained by Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2025, Sanju will look to continue to lead from the front and bring Rajasthan their second IPL trophy.
