Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Rohit Sharma is hailed by fans and experts for his selflessness and desire to put the team ahead of personal milestones. Another Indian cricketer who adopts the same attitude in all aspects of the game is none other than Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson, as evident from an anecdote shared by former India pacer Tinu Yohanan.
"Sanju was in poor form during the 2021/22 season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. I advised him that he would be able to get a big score if he faces a certain number of deliveries. Sanju said, 'That is not the kind of player I am. I won't play for myself in any scenario'," said Yohanan, who was the head coach of the Kerala cricket team at that point, during an exclusive interaction with TimesofIndia.com.
