He also added that he is excited for the tournament to get underway and Sanju Samson will be the player of the tournament. The 24-year-old Samson, who has developed himself as a key player for Rajasthan Royals, was retained by the franchise for the upcoming season.
Samson holds an experience of 81 IPL matches under his belt. He has scored 1,867 runs at an average of 26.67 in the lucrative tournament. He has also notched up a century and 10 half-centuries in the league with the highest score of 102.

It was important for us to retain our established values but at the same time develop a new and modern identity. I am already in love with the new look of the team and hope the fans will love it too."
