‘Sanju Samson can lead Team India in the future…’: AB de Villiers speaks highly about Sanju Samson

AB de Villiers lauded Samson’s leadership skills and spoke very highly about his performances as a skipper in the IPL.

Sanju Samson is one of the most talented batters in the world at present. The right-hand batsman has a huge fan base and has played many outstanding knocks in the IPL. Even though his team, Rajasthan Royals, failed to win the trophy, the side did impress with the show, making fans happy with Sanju’s captaincy.

AB de Villiers lauded Samson’s leadership skills and spoke very highly about his performances as a skipper in the IPL.

“Sanju Samson, we all know, is an incredible player, but what’s his captaincy like? I think the first thing that comes to mind for me is his composure. Calm, relaxed kind of guy. He never seems to be fussed by anything, which is a very good sign as a captain.” AB de Villiers said on Jio Cinema.

“Strategically I think he’s pretty sound. I think he can still improve and will still improve over time as he gets more experience and spends more time with someone like Jos Buttler, which is a fantastic asset for him to have in his ear all the time. He’s got so much to learn there,” he added.

According to him, if Sanju Samson continues to put up some good shows for Team India in the coming years, he will not be surprised to see him as the captain of the side.

“But I think he’s got all the credentials to be a wonderful captain. Who knows, possibly even one day in a year or two or three’s time, in one of the formats in the India team, he could very easily be the captain there, and I think it will do his cricket the world of good. If he can stay as captain for long periods of time, I think he’s going to go places with it,” AB de Villiers concluded.
