IPL 2023: 'Sanju Samson Should Play For India,' Fans React To Rajasthan Royals Captain's Record-Breaking Knock Against SRH

It was a feast for cricket fans who love explosive batting during the Rajasthan Royal (RR) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday (April 2) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. First Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler got Rajasthan Royals to a fiery start in their innings breaking the franchise's record of most runs in the powerplay. Later on, captain Sanju Samson decided to smash the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers all over the park.

Samson finished his innings on 55 off 32 balls which had 4 maximums and 3 boundaries. After his fiery, former England cricketer Eoin Morgan was also left impressed as he said, "I am shocked he has not played much international cricket because not many players in the world can smash Adil Rashid like Sanju did in this match."
