New Delhi. When the Rajasthan Royals team defeated the host team in the IPL match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat, the credit for this went to two batters. The first captain is Sanju Samson who, batting at number-3, hit 60 runs in 32 balls. At the same time, his partner Shimron Hetmyer also played a blistering inning of 56 runs off 26 balls. Rajasthan’s team needed 125 runs in the last 10 overs to win. Three batters of Sanju Samson’s team were also out. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler had left. In such a situation, it is not easy to describe in words what Sanju did.

After the first 10 overs, Rajasthan’s score was 53 runs at the loss of three wickets. Batting first, Gujarat Titans scored 177 runs at the loss of seven wickets in the match. In such a situation, while defending the target, Hardik Pandya was also confident. Sanju Samson was dismissed for zero in the last two matches. He was on the threshold of making that infamous record of Suryakumar Yadav, in which he was dismissed for zero in three consecutive matches. There was a fear that Sanju would get out for zero against Gujarat as well.
