Ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has lauded the captaincy style of Rajasthan Royals’ skipper, Sanju Samson, calling it “phenomenal.” Ashwin, who plays under Samson’s leadership, commended the young captain’s ability to differentiate and manage on-field and off-field relationships effectively.
Speaking to Star Sports, Ashwin expressed the dynamic between him and Samson, saying, “On the field, I try and give him inputs as I see how the game is panning out. However, that relationship off the field doesn’t come on the field. It’s generally that younger brother, elder brother sort of a relationship off it. On the field, we are able to switch off.”
