The Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper confessed he was ‘very disappointed’ with the snub because it was his dream to play in a World Cup for India. However, Samson also acknowledged that this is not the time to regret but to show maturity and keep his mind focussed on the job at hand - IPL 2021’s UAE leg.
While there’s never been any doubt about Sanju Samson’s ability and talent, his consistency has always been a vexing issue in his career. And although the 26-year-old had a decent first half of IPL 2021, his selection became highly unlikely when he scored just 34 runs at a paltry average of 11.33 from 3 T20Is in Sri Lanka.

“We are going for the kill - die or win” - Sanju Samson on RR’s IPL 2021 approach
Sanju Samson further said that considering RR’s dismal performance last year, the only way for them in IPL 2021 is upwards. He confidently remarked that the team will not hold back and instead go for the kill this season, with the attitude of “die or win.”
The Royals aren’t placed too badly in the points table and need to win at least four of their next seven matches to reach the qualifiers. Sanju Samson, however, said that his team’s goal is not the top-4 but to clinch the trophy.
According to the IPL schedule 2021, the Royals will go head-to-head with KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings on Tuesday. A win here would get them level with defending champions Mumbai Indians in the points table and might just also push them to the No. 4 spot.
