I think he has been attending all the practice sessions. He does tick each and every box, which he has been ticking from last six years,” he said. While Jaiswal has failed to cross 30-plus runs in this edition, Samson is confident that Jaiswal will come to the party at the right time. He pointed out Jaiswal’s dedication in the nets and the attacking style that often comes with risk. “You can see he is batting the most hours in the nets. We've had to wait for many hours for him to get out of the nets. So, he is doing everything possible from his side to score those runs, to win those matches," he said. He further added that when Jaiswal begin to perform, he will be winning matches for the team. “I think I would like to see him perform and come up the ranks at the right moment when the team requires him the most. I think I am happy that he is yet to perform. But I know when he performs, he will be winning the games for us as a team. So, he is doing everything fine,” he said. Samson excited to return as Full-Time Captain Saturday’s game will mark Samson’s first outing as RR captain this season after completely recovering from a finger injury. In IPL 2025 so far, He had played only as an Impact Player in the earlier matches, with Riyan Parag captaining the side for the first time. “Missing out in three games, I was just holding myself back and seeing the games from a different perspective,” he said. Speaking more about his first three matches, Samson said that it was a different experience. "To be honest, I am very happy and excited to be back and to be fully fit, to keep wickets, to play as a normal player. I think I have been really looking forward to it and it feels very exciting," he said. Rajasthan Royals will take on Punjab Kings on Saturday at Mullanpur.
