Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) star batsman Sanju Samson has been in incredible form with the bat in the ongoing Dream11 IPL 2020 and earning applauds from many cricketing greats and now the India Women’s star cricketer Smriti Mandhana has been bowled over by the Kerala star.
At the moment, the right-handed batsman is in sublime form in the ongoing 13th edition of the IPL 2020 – where he has already smashed 167 runs with the help of back-to-back half-centuries at a staggering strike-rate of 214.86 and a healthy batting average of 79.50 in the tournament.
The 25-year-old is currently among the top five run-getters in the IPL 13 and has so far blasted 16 sixes, the most by any batsman in the ongoing T20 league till now.
Samson has now become the batting mainstay for RR which remains one of the top franchises in the ongoing IPL 13 and is presently ranking third in the IPL standings after two wins in three games.

Impressing by Samson’s “next-level hitting” in the ongoing IPL 2020, Mandhana admitted being a huge fan of Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman and said has started supporting RR because of his power-hitting.
Mandhana told India Today on Wednesday: “The way young guys are batting is very inspirational to see. I think Sanju Samson; the way he is batting I have just become a huge fan of him. I have started supporting RR because of him. The way he is batting is crazy, next-level batting. I am thinking to learn from everyone who is batting and bowling well.”
However, a 'non-diplomatic' Mandhana has insisted that she is isn't supporting any team but a bunch of players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni in the ongoing IPL 2020 on being asked about his favorite team in the tournament.
She signed off by saying, “I am watching all the matches. I am quite biased with all the players and I have not got one team to support. I am not being diplomatic; I actually don't have one team to support. I am supporting Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni.”
