Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's rise has intensified the battle for places in India's line-up but Sanju Samson, competing with the batting prodigy for the opener's slot, says he relishes the challenge.
Rajasthan Royals' regular captain, Sanju Samson, is yet to recover fully from a finger injury and will play only as a batter in the first three matches of the IPL. In his absence, Ryan Parag has been entrusted with the leadership duties. However, the franchise has confirmed that Samson will reclaim the captaincy once he is fully fit.
