However, the aspect of his game that doesn't get talked about much is wicket-keeping. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Samson executed a stunning run-out while keeping his gloves on to dismiss Nicholas Pooran. The effort saw him draw plenty of plaudits from fans.

Chasing 155, RR were stopped at 144 for six as their return to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium after four years ended in disappointment, despite a creditable outing with the ball earlier in the evening.

Inconsistent Lucknow Super Giants Face Rajasthan Royals Test in IPL 2023

Blowing hot and cold, Lucknow Super Giants will look to tick all the boxes and return to winning ways when they clash with table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match here on Wednesday. With three wins and two losses so far, LSG is a team overflowing with talent but they have missed a trick or two at times to find themselves on the losing side twice.

Ricky Ponting's Future In Focus As Delhi Capitals Eye Leaner Coaching Staff Post IPL 2023: Report

"No One Is Depending On Him...": Ex-India Star's Big Statement On LSG Captain KL Rahul

Star batter KL Rahul is going through a rough phase in his career. Whether its international or franchise cricket, runs have dried up from Rahul's bat.

Rahul, who was second in the Orange Cap race last year with 616 runs, has managed scores of 8, 20, 35 and 18 in LSG's four games so far. However, former India batter Aakash Chopra feels that the franchise is no longer dependent on the skipper's form to churn out results.
