[Saba Sports News] Yuzvendra Chahal enjoyed himself at the Rajasthan Royals nets, cheering on captain Sanju Samson as he fine-tuned his batting for the upcoming IPL 2024. A video posted by the team shows Chahal playfully supporting Samson, with the caption crediting “Chintu” as Samson’s enthusiastic backer. With the caption, “Sanju’s hype man behind the nets, brought to you by his Chintu.”
Despite his omission from the 2023 ODI World Cup squad, Samson is eyeing the T20 World Cup 2024. He hopes a standout IPL season will boost his chances of selection. Last IPL, he had a decent run, scoring 362 runs across 14 games, but the Royals just missed the playoffs, finishing fifth.
The team is set to face the Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on March 24, anticipating challenging conditions. With a narrow head-to-head lead against Lucknow, the Royals and their fans are looking forward to an exciting match, recalling last year’s tight contest where Lucknow clinched a 10-run victory in Jaipur.
