IPL 2023: RESPECT– Sanju Samson uses ‘That Guy’ in place of MS Dhoni in the post match presentation

While answering Sanjay Manjrekar's questions in the post match presentation, Sanju never used 'Dhoni' in his statements, instead, used "that guy" for him.

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is well known for his respectful behavior towards senior players of any team. One such incident came to notice after the match between CSK and RR on April 12 (yesterday). While answering Sanjay Manjrekar’s questions in the post match presentation, Sanju never used ‘Dhoni’ in his statements, instead, used “that guy” for him.

“Did you feel you had the game in your pocket in the last two overs?” asked Sanjay Manjrekar in the post-match presentation

“No sir, never when you have that guy (MS Dhoni) in the middle,” he told Manjrekar. “You have to respect that guy and know what he can do in the middle. Everyone was involved and the match is not over till the last ball. I do a lot of planning, research and sit down with the data team but a lot of calls have to be taken inside the ground looking at who is bowling well at what point. I only played two balls but I’m drained as if I have scored a hundred. A lot of thoughts are going around,” Samson added.

When Manjrekar asked if Samson and his RR data team had any numbers or plans to stop Dhoni, the RR keeper and captain gave a brilliant answer.

“What data do you have on that guy you have just mentioned?” Manjrekar asked. “Nothing. Nothing works, no date, nothing,” said Samson.
