Sanju Samson has got similar qualities as MS Dhoni, says former India coach.
Former India coach Ravi Shastri praised Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson and likened his captaincy style to MS Dhoni.
“Sanju has similar qualities to MS Dhoni,” he told Cricinfo.
“Little I have seen of him or whatever I have seen of him, he is very calm and composed. Even though he doesn’t show it, he communicates well with his players.
“I think the more he does the job, the more he will learn with the experience.”
Rajasthan Royals on Thursday defeated Chennai Super Kings by 32 runs to rise atop the Indian Premier League.
Shastri says there is an instinctive leadership qualities in Sanju Samson.
“There is an instinctive leader in Sanju. But you could also see he wasn’t happy in the last two games underneath that skin. Even though he didn’t say it, you could make out from the outside that he wasn’t pleased with their batting effort when they could have won the game. At least one game was there for the taking,” said Shastri.
Rajasthan is now top of the table with 10 points. Chennai is down to third, and Gujarat Titans second, as all three teams are equal on points but separated by net run rate.
