He\u2019s been a part of that team for the past eight seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Sanju has scored over 2500 runs in 99 IPL games over eight seasons and has become one of the Royals\u2019 most reliable foundations. With the kind of starts he\u2019s been having this season, he\u2019ll be trying to make the milestone, both as a batter and as the Royals\u2019 skipper, a spectacular one.<\/p>\n<p>Sanju is captaining the Royals for the second time in the IPL.<br \/>\nWhen he was barely 18 years old, the Kerala youngster burst into the spotlight. His batting talent was demonstrated with a double century in the Ranji Trophy, elevating him into the Rajasthan Royals\u2019 hopes for the 2013 season.<\/p>\n<p>In his first IPL season, a brilliant 63 off 41 balls against the legendary Royal Challengers Bangalore solidified his\u00a0status as one of the greatest talents, and by the conclusion of the season, he had amassed 206 runs in 11 matches to win the renowned \u201cBest Young Player of the Season, IPL 2013\u201d award.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">100th match as a Royal. 100th march as a Royal. \ud83d\udc97<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RoyalsFamily?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RoyalsFamily<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DCvRR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DCvRR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dgn9AAT2W7\">pic.twitter.com\/dgn9AAT2W7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rajasthanroyals\/status\/1517502301069807617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Ajikya Rahane, Samson is the only player to play 100 matches for the Royals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":271,"featured_media":40326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[465,629],"class_list":["post-19662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-rajasthan-royals","tag-sanju-samson"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
