The Rajasthan Royals team led by Sanju Samson began their innings with a strong start from openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. Jaiswal, who had previously struggled in this season’s IPL, showcased his talent with an impressive 104 runs off 60 balls. Buttler also contributed 35 runs off 25 balls. Skipper Sanju Samson’s steady 38-run knock helped seal the victory for RR.
The 104-run knock from Jaiswal put to rest any concerns about his form and signaled his readiness to be considered for the Indian selectors ahead of the T20 World Cup. Skipper Samson expressed his confidence in Jaiswal, stating that the team was aware of his potential and that it was just a matter of time before he regained his form.
Samson also praised the team’s overall performance, particularly the way they bounced back after a slight lull in the middle overs. He highlighted the contributions of the left-handed batters and the improved batting conditions in the second innings. The wicket, which initially appeared dry, became more favorable for batting as the lights were turned on and the temperature cooled.
