Sanju Samson will be leading Rajasthan Royals as they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024 Eliminator on Wednesday (May 22).

The Royals have been struggling with a five-match winless run. But they will have to turn things around at the Narendra Modi Stadium as a defeat would end their IPL campaign in a hugely underwhelming fashion.

Jos Buttler's departure hasn't helped their cause, but captain Sanju Samson will have to step up and lead from the front. He has been in excellent touch this IPL season, which also earned the RR captain a spot in the India squad for the T20 World Cup.

Samson has already amassed 504 runs in this IPL season. The Rajasthan skipper has scored 5 fifties this year and is batting at a strike rate of 156.

As the Royals face the Challengers in a crucial match, onus will be on Sanju Samson to deliver his best with the bat.
