IPL 2022: Rating captains of all teams based on performance so far

3. Sanju Samson- 8/10

Rajasthan Royals is back among the mix in the top half of the points table, after a blistering start to the season. Jos Buttler has been batting in a league of his own, scoring three centuries in just eight games, and having more than a 100-run lead in the Orange Cap race. Sanju Samson, skipper of the Royals, deserves much credit here, given how proactive he has been on the field.

Sanju Samson gets a strong 8/10 rating as the captain so far, given that he has also played a few match-winning cameos here and there. Moreover, he has utilized the four overs of Yuzvendra Chahal with maximum effect and has been impressive with the way he sets out the field. All six of Rajasthan’s wins have come while defending totals, which speaks volumes about Sanju Samson’s leadership. There have been several instances where Rajasthan have pulled back games, despite the opposition seeming to run away with the proceedings.
