Sanju Samson Deserves "Higher Honours": Kevin Pietersen, Matthew Hayden On T20 World Cup Selection
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson once again proved his merit in the shortest format of the game, playing a match-winning knock of 71 runs off 33 balls, guiding his team to a victory against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Saturday. Samson, who also has the leadership responsibility of the franchise on his shoulders, has done a phenomenal job in this campaign so far, with the Royals riding at the top of the points table.

Watch: Jonty Rhodes Honours LSG Star For Delaying MS Dhoni's Batting In IPL 2024 Clash
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fielding coach Jonty Rhodes poked fun at all-rounder Deepak Hooda for dropping a catch during their IPL 2024 match on Friday. After the match, Rhodes presented the Magic Mic award, which is given to the best fielder in the team after every LSG game, to Hooda. However, Rhodes' decision was more ironical as Hooda had dropped a catch in the 17th over and also gifted CSK six runs. Ravindra Jadeja hit a fuller delivery off Mohsin Khan towards long-on and Hooda parried the ball away for a six after misjudging it.
