Captain’s Role & Impact Today
Samson isn’t just RR’s wicketkeeper-batsman — he’s also the tactical leader, responsible for guiding a talented lineup including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Parag, and Archer. His own performance, especially with the bat, often sets the tone for RR’s innings.
If Samson gets going tonight, it could tilt the game heavily in Rajasthan Royals’ favor.
