Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will be in action against Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB) on April 23. He is familiar with this ground as he spent eight years with RCB and played under the former Indian captain Virat Kohli.
Meanwhile, ahead of the much-awaited clash, Chahal spoke about his RR skipper Sanju Samson. The leggie mentioned that he has played under all three famous skippers MS Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit Sharma but playing under Samson has given him more liberty. Interestingly, Chahal has played most of his cricket under Dhoni and Kohli so this statement of his created a lot of buzz on social media.
“I think Maine, jitne bhi captains, teeno captains ke under khela hun, unse voh liberty mili hai as a bowler, jo ek bowler chahta hai. Chahe voh Mahi bhai ho, Virat bhaiya ho ya Rohit Bhai. Mujhe voh ek cheez mili hai (I think, all three captains whom I have played under, I have gotten that liberty that a bowler requires, whether it’s Mahi bhai, Virat Kohli, or Rohit Sharma. So yeah, that’s the one thing I have gotten.”
Samson is very similar to Mahi bhai: Yuzvendra Chahal
Chahal continued to praise Samson and said that Samson is his favorite IPL captain. The former even compared Samson with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Dhoni. The leggie also gave credit for his at least 10% growth to Samson.
IPL mein favorite captain toh definitely, for me, Sanju. Kyunki mujhe voh literally Mahi bhai jaisa lagta hai, bilkul calm and chill. Jo meri bowling mein growth hui hai, at least 10 percent jo growth hui hai last year voh Sanju ki vajah se hui hai. He told me, 'You have 4 overs, just bowl, meri taraf se tu free hai, jo karna hai' (In IPL, Sanju Samson is definitely my favorite. I feel like he is literally very similar to Mahi Bhai as like him, he is very calm and chill. The 10 percent or whatever growth I have had as a bowler in the last year, is all because of Sanju. He told me, 'You have four overs, bowl whatever you want to, you are free from my side'.)"
