Ex-India head coach Ravi Shastri praised Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson's leadership and said that he has matured as a captain. "He uses his spinners very well. Only a good captain can play with three spinners (Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa) and use them smartly," Shastri added. Currently, RR are placed fourth on the IPL 2023 points table.
