Sanju Samson was appointed as RR s captain for upcoming IPL 2021. Samson revealed he got congratulatory texts from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni
MPL prediction and fantasy picks for today IPL 2021 Match7 Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi CapitalsRajasthan Royals’ camp must be hurting right now as their star all-rounder Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the league.
He had encountered an injury to his index finger of the left hand in the last game.
The franchise is looking for potential options for his replacement.
The news comes in on the back of a heart-breaking loss against Punjab in which the franchise lost by 4 runs in pursuit of 222.On the contrary, Delhi Capitals only get better with Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje in line to play their first game this season.
They missed the last game as they were in quarantine.
The last year’s runners up began well by beating Chennai Super Kings.
148/6 never looked a big score to chase for the Bangla Tigers who successfully got to the score in the final over of the match.
Contributions from Mohammad Naim (26), Soumya Sarkar (39) and a certain Mushfiqur Rahim (60*) meant that India found themselves on a losing note at the end of the game in Delhi.
None of the Indian spinners were able to purchase any turn or bounce of the wicket which was a rather unseen sight on a Delhi pitch.
After India’s stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma reasoned the defeat to the lack of experience in the side, the focus now shifts to Rajkot where the second T20I is scheduled to be played today (7th November).
While there is a case for Sanju Samson to make his T20I debut an extra batsman in place of Shivam Dube might be the way to go ahead for India in this match.
This means that the all-rounder might make way for Manish Pandey who is a good T20 batsman besides his prolific fielding abilities.
