Sanju Samson eagerly waiting to play for Rajasthan Royals in IPL2018

Jaipur, March 15 (CRICKETNMORE) - The youngest cricketer to captain a Ranji Trophy side Sanju Samson has many firsts to his credit in domestic cricket. He is also the youngest player to score a half-century in the Indian Premier League (IPL)

"I strongly believe in giving my best," he said.

"Butler is a match winner and a fantastic player and I admire him for what he is. Also, I strongly believe in team management and will be happy to do whatever my management wants me to do," he added.

Asked how he perceived his international career given the tough competition from Rishabh Pant of Delhi who is an explosive batsman and wicketkeeper too, he said: "I am concentrating on batting better as a cricketer; I really want to get better at what I am and improve my skills. Selection is not in my hand and hence I have stopped thinking in that direction."

This boy from Kerala loves visiting beaches, playing football, water surfing and spending time with families and friends.

Born to Lijy and Samson Viswanath, he gives credit for his success to his father who was formerly a constable in Delhi Police and played a key role in shaping his cricket career.
