Rajasthan Royals (RR) coach Rahul Dravid has broken his silence on the reports stating that there is tension between him and skipper Sanju Samson. The Rajasthan-based franchise’s head coach has called the speculations as ‘baseless’ and added that he and Samson are on the same page.
The rumours about the rift emerged during RR’s clash against the Delhi Capitals earlier this week. In a video, Samson can be seen declining the offer to join a group discussion which took place between Dravid and the other team members before the super over.
The video soon went viral on social media with many fans claiming that Samson’s captaincy may be under threat. However, Dravid shut down all such claims with his statement on the matter.
“I don’t know where these reports are coming from. Sanju and I are on the same page,” Dravid said in a press conference.
“He’s a very integral part of our team. He’s involved in each and every decision and discussion. Sometimes, when you lose games and things don’t go right, you face criticism and we can take it on our performances, but we can’t do anything about this baseless stuff,” Dravid added.
“The spirit of the team is really good, I’m impressed with how hard these guys work. One of the things people don’t understand is how hurt the players feel when they don’t perform.” Dravid further said.
RR will be looking to bring their 3-match losing streak to an end when they face-off against the Lucknow Super Giants in an important clash which will take place on Saturday.
