Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, who plays domestic cricket for Kerala, also has an elder brother. The world knows Sanju as a powerhitter up the batting order who has produced great performances over the years in the Indian Premier League. Sanju has also come about to be a good captain. He led the Rajasthan Royals to the final of IPL 2022. RR lost out on the playoffs berth in IPL 2023 by a whisker. Sanju might not have had a consistent run in international cricket but despite that, he remains the fan-favourite wherever he travels.
