Watch: Shimron Hetmyer’s Priceless Reaction When Sanju Samson Teases Him In “Fantastic Speech”
Rajasthan Royals impressed them all, reaching the finals of the IPL 2022 season thanks to some amazing performances around the world. However, they were unable to overcome the final hurdle, losing to the Gujarat Titans in the final. Despite the disappointment in the final, the Rajasthan Royals have plenty of positives to bring home. Jos Buttler win the Orange Cap while Yuzvendra Chahal brought home the Purple Cap. In addition to these two, there were many important contributions by a series of players throughout the tournament that helped RR reach the finals. Sanju Samson too impressed with his captain’s armband.
After the culmination of IPL 2022, Samson spoke to his teammates and support staff. A video was posted on Twitter by Rajasthan Royals on Thursday.
“Honestly, thank you so much to each and every one. Thank you so much for believing in my decision making. I think, I may have made some bad decisions. but some good decisions I’m definitely also learning and growing as a leader Thanks alot Sanga (Kumar Sangakkara – Cricket director, RR). I think Sanga owes a lot for taking care of the group as a strong leader. How you communicate through the ups and downs,” Samson said in the video.
“I think yes this season we’ve had a lot of good memories but last season I knew we were fighting for 7th and 8th place and I think the way you manage the team is real. And I want to thank all the staff. , the support staff, the physiotherapist, the masseuse, almost everyone really.”
Honest words from our captain.

Then Samson looked in the direction of Hetmyer and thanked him, but not for his performance on the field.
“And Hettie, thanks for eating that dinner while I was giving a great speech.”
As soon as these words came out of Samson’s mouth, the whole audience burst into laughter, but one person did not – Hetmyer. Instead, the West Indian had a confused look even as his teammates looked at him.

Samson then continued with his speech and went on to thank British star Jos Buttler.
“Most everyone from top to bottom – Manoj sir, Zubin sir, and thank you very much Jos. I think a brilliant season from you and we all learned a lot from you,” Samson added.
