With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season quickly approaching, excitement is expected on and off the field. In the meantime, captain Sanju Samson made fun of Yashasvi Jaiswal, the attacking opener for the Rajasthan Royals.
Sanju Samson stated that because of the young batsman’s agitated batting sessions in the net, the team’s support crew was sent to the hospital with dislocated shoulders.
With RR, Jaiswal had a spectacular IPL 2023 season, hitting over 600 runs. Due to his performances, India called him up, which extended his winning streak in Tests. With the conclusion of the Test series, the left-hander was named Player of the Series and is in incredible form right now.
In an interview with Star Sports, Sanju Samson cheekily disclosed how Jaiswal has been torturing the team’s throwdown experts during drills.

“In our practice camp, there are four Sardar jis. The first is known as “Cut, Pull, Flick, and Drive.” The man named “Cut” only practiced cutting balls, while the man named “Pull” practiced pulling only bowls. Likewise with the other boys. Because of Jaiswal from the previous season, they dislocated their shoulders. They were in the hospital when they returned. Samson stated, “I believe that Jaiswal’s actions cause injuries to staff members rather than athletes.
Sanju Samson believes you don’t have to wait ten balls to hit a six.
Samson, the batsman’s captain, praised the batsman for his exceptional work ethic and spoke with him about his development as a power hitter and his desire to represent India in the T20 World Cup in 2024.
“I always wanted my style and bat technique to make myself stand out. I was hoping to go out there and knock a six, regardless of whether it was the first ball. That was the change in perspective. I have an idea for a different action. Why must we wait for a six to be hit after 10 balls? That’s why I started honing my power hitting,” the RR skipper said.
All eyes will be on Jaiswal to build on his breakout season as the Rajasthan Royals get ready to play the Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on March 24, 2024, to begin their IPL 2024 campaign. The team from Rajasthan was a finalist in the 2022 season, and it hasn’t won a championship since its founding in 2008. The team’s goal for this year is to turn around its results in the next campaign.
