It was an vital game for both the teams included. A win would have implied LSG would have finished within the top 2 irrespective of the result in their last game. Whereas for Rajasthan Royals this win implies they have a foot within the playoffs now.
We Have A Quality Bowling Line UP: Sanju Samson
Eventually, LSG lost the game by 24 runs.
Sanju Samson after the game said, “We have been making some good decisions. It is very hard to maintain a chilled out atmosphere. Credit to the boys. You keep on losing here and there. We want to go out there and express ourselves as a batting unit. We have a quality bowling lineup to defend. Last game also, Ashwin did well. Sometimes you make decisions and look bad when you lose. We can control the intensity. Neesham brought some amazing energy onto the field. There is some bonus point for having some quality spinners. We can use them any time.”
On being asked if knows Tamil too he said, “I know a lot of Tamil. I have friends and I watch a lot of Tamil movies. Each and everyone went out there and showed some intent despite playing a batter short. You can’t really think much in this format, you just go out and express.”
RR would now hope to win their last game as well and qualify for the playoffs.
