It was a vital game for Rajasthan Royals within the setting of qualifications for the playoffs. A win would have nearly given them a certainty of a put within the playoffs. But a misfortune now implies that they would got to at any rate win their remaining two games as indeed one win won’t be sufficient as net run rate might come into play. Sanju Samson after the game said he was not cheerful with the result.
We Were Around 15-20 Runs Short: Sanju Samson
After the game, Samson said, “Very disappointing night. We were a few runs short, and a few wickets short in the middle. While we were batting the wicket was two-paced. We were 15-20 runs short. While bowling second we dropped a few catches. Really disappointed, but we would like to come back in the next game.”
On being asked if he thought it hit Marsh’s pad he said, “I never thought it could have been pad, we thought it came off the bat.”
“We need to come back stronger after losing any game in IPL, and I hope we come back stronger. We have done that in the past. Hetmyer will be back soon” he further added.
RR now desperately needs to win their remaining games as the points table is now really heating up.
