Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson may come across as a soft-spoken man but time and again he has shown his witty side to all.
A dressing room video posted by the franchise on social media after the win against Delhi Capitals, is a testimony to the fact. Addressing the team, Samson is heard saying, “I really enjoyed the intensity in the ground today, and as Sanga said I was able to make some really good decisions. That was only possible because Jos bhai really helped me!"
The addition of bhai (brother) to Buttler's first name left the players and fans amused. "Thank you Jos bhai," Samson further added, as the players broke into laughter.
Sanju’s got a new nickname for Jos. 😋#JosBhai | #RoyalsFamily | @IamSanjuSamson | @josbuttler pic.twitter.com/wx1Y5yuYwq

Buttler, one of RR's high-profile signings, is yet to fire in the tournament, with scores of 2 and 25 in the first two matches. With compatriot Ben Stokes ruled out of the tournament with a finger injury, the onus is on the England wicketkeeper batsman to find some form quickly.
RR have had two close matches so far, losing the first one to Punjab Kings off the final ball despite Samson’s brilliant 119, and winning the second against the Capitals, thanks to Chris Morris’s unbeaten 36 off 18.
RR are currently placed sixth on the points table with two points from two matches.
