Rajasthan Royals have been the undeniable stars of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, emerging as the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far. With a flawless record of four wins out of four matches, the team’s remarkable performance under the captaincy of Sanju Samson has been the talk of the cricketing world. It’s noteworthy that the Royals reached the Finals in IPL 2022 but fell short against the Gujarat Titans.
Reflecting on his recent success as captain, Samson emphasized the importance of simplicity in navigating the complexities of the IPL. In a conversation with Star Sports, he highlighted the significance of starting the tournament with momentum, given the high level of competition and the presence of world-class bowlers and teams.
“My learning from last season is to keep it as simple as possible,” Sanju Samson remarked. “We’ll go in with the 11 best options and then, according to the toss, make decisions regarding additional bowling or batting options.”

“So I think as simple as we keep it, it will be good for our team and it will be good for the players even sitting out,” Sanju Samson explained. “Last year, it was like 14-15 people were ready. So I think the rule is to just keep it simple and just go about it.”
As Rajasthan Royals continue their winning streak, Samson’s leadership and commitment to simplicity serve as guiding principles, steering the team towards further success in the IPL 2024 season.
