Sanju Samson wanted to keep the coin from the toss as a souvenir since Monday`s match against Punjab Kings was his captaincy debut. However, the match referee did not allow him to do so. All that the new Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper would be able to carry are memories of seven big sixes and 12 boundaries that helped him get to a century on his IPL captaincy debut.

"The coin looked great so I pocketed it and asked the referee if I can have it. But he said no," said Samson after scoring 119 off 63 balls in his team`s IPL opener. RR lost to Punjab Kings by four runs.
