Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2022 Final: Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson was taken to the cleaners by fans on Twitter as his side found themselves in a spot of bother against Gujarat Titans after their skipper won the toss and elected to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday. Samson, who failed to make an impact with the bat in hand, once again played a false shot to throw his wicket away, even worse to his counterpart Hardik Pandya, who seems to have not put a foot wrong in the final.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter, most being critical of Sanju Samson’s decision to bat first:
Sanju Samson should immediately be removed from captaincy. He has not done anything special as a captain in IPL 2022. Others are performing, he is getting appreciation being captain. #Sanju Samson, #IPL 2022 @IamSanjuSamson @rajasthanroyals @KumarSanga2

Sadly, Sanju’s upstairs is empty.. Sanga is same type.. Together they ruined RR’s chances this year..

As much as I love Sanju Samson’s intent to take on pace, he needs to find aggressive alternative options to play that line and length. Trying to hit a rising ball down the wicket requires not only tremendous skill but also great luck.

Was bit surprised when Sanju Samson decided to bat first after winning the toss as chasing is easy on this ground.. Can see how difficult it is to time the ball in 1st innings..#GTvsRR #IPLFinals
