Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Only 2 matches are left in IPL 2024. Today the qualifier will be played and after that there will be a battle of the final between the two teams. Today in another important match, the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face each other. Both the teams have a chance to reach the final by winning today’s match and then win the title. Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson today, who has been performing brilliantly throughout this season. If Sanju Samson’s bat works today, he will overtake CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Gaikwad is the captain who scored the most runs in IPL this year
Actually, the highest run-scorer in the Indian Premier League this year is RCB’s Virat Kohli. Who has scored 741 runs so far. But if we talk about him as a captain, then Ruturaj Gaikwad comes next. He comes second in the list of overall highest run-scorers, but as a captain, he has scored the most runs this season. He has scored 583 runs. But now since his team is out, there will be no increase in his number of runs. But if we talk about the second highest run-scorer as a captain, then Sanju Samson comes next.
Sanju needs 63 runs to surpass Gaikwad
Sanju Samson has scored 521 runs in 15 matches in this IPL so far. His average is 52.10 and strike rate is 155.52. He has managed to score half-centuries in 5 of these 15 matches, although he missed out on completing a century. Meanwhile, if Sanju Samson scores 63 more runs in today’s match, he can score the most runs as a captain this year.
It was under Sanju’s captaincy that the Rajasthan team reached the final in the year 2022
It is also worth noting that if Sanju Samson is not able to score so many runs today, but his team RR wins, then Sanju will get another chance to reduce this gap. When the Rajasthan team goes to the final, Sanju will play another match. That is, he can get at least one and maximum two chances. However, the effort will be to score 63 more runs today and leave Gaikwad behind. Earlier in the 2022 IPL also, the team reached the final under Sanju’s captaincy, although then the team lost to Gujarat Titans captained by Hardik Pandya. Now it remains to be seen whether the RR team comes out as the champion.
