8. Rajasthan Royals (RR):
The Rajasthan Royals management will show faith in their new skipper for a couple of more years. Sanju Samson who was appointed the leader of the side after the removal of Steve Smith ahead of the IPL 2021 Auction, will continue with his position in the next year’s IPL.
It will be unfair for any captain, especially a young captain to get sacked after just one year’s captaincy. Moreover, his best will begin to come out from IPL 2022 with one year’s captaincy experience.
Samson has been good with his leadership role for now, at least for the debutant skipper. He has led his team to three wins in seven games in IPL 2021 first half.
