South Africa and Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Chris Morris has picked his RR skipper Sanju Samson and Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Hardik Pandya as his favorite cricketers.

Speaking to the programme host Samson, Morris said: “Sanju is my favorite No. 1 player, obviously because I've watched him for a long time now and watched him develop into the man and the player he is today, but I really enjoy Hardik (Pandya) play. I think he's a showstopper -- he is prime time.”

While Samson said: “The best piece of advice I ever got was from you (Morris). And it was to smack every ball I faced. That's what I've been doing since 2016 when I met you. And, yes, it feels good.”

The young wicketkeeper-batsman Samson further said hitting the ball to all corners of the ground was something he loved, but the “most difficult thing” is that to speak during team meetings as RR skipper.

Samson signed off by saying, “That's the most difficult task? Speaking at each and every meeting. I hate doing that; each and everyone expects me to give a long speech. Though I might be getting good at it, I feel I actually hate it.”

Noteworthy, Rajasthan Royals (RR) has won just 2 games from their 5 games in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) and are currently lagging at the 7th spot on the points table with 4 points.

The RR will next take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 14 game on April 29.
