Sorry… I don’t have the answer… Why did Sanju Samson say this? Learn

New Delhi. When the team of Rajasthan Royals (RR vs RCB) would have landed on the ground in the 60th match of IPL against Royal Challengers Bangalore, they would not have thought even in their dreams that they would have this fate before the playoffs. RCB forced Rajasthan to face a humiliating defeat in a one-sided match. After the match, when Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson was asked about the poor performance of the team, he had no answer.

Made the third lowest score in IPL history
Chasing the target of 172 runs for the win, the Rajasthan team was reduced to the third lowest score in IPL history. The Rajasthan team was able to bat only 10.3 overs and had to face a big defeat of 112 runs. In front of the fine bowling of Wayne Parnell (10/3), Michael Bracewell (16/2) and Karn Sharma (19/2), apart from Shimron Hetmyer (35 runs in 19 balls), no Rajasthan batsman could run. Half the team returned to the pavilion for 28 runs in the power play and could not recover after that. When asked about the continuous poor performance in the second half of the league, Samson told the broadcasters, ‘It is actually a big question. I was thinking about it and where did it go wrong. Sorry, I do not have the answer.

Yashasvi and Butler could not even open the account
Four Rajasthan batsmen, including experienced openers Jose Butler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were dismissed without opening the account, while Sanju Samson could score only four runs. Samson said that IPL is such a tournament where reversal can happen in a few days. Samson said, ‘We all know about IPL. We know that things can change in a few days. Funny things happen at the end of the league stages. We have to be strong, be professional and think about that game.

Rajasthan net runrate deteriorated
Due to the big defeat, the net run rate of Rajasthan has deteriorated. The team is in sixth place with 12 points from 13 matches. The wicket-keeper batsman said that the team’s plan was to score more runs in the powerplay as it would have been difficult to score later. This plan however failed. He said, ‘We usually bat aggressively in the powerplay but today it did not happen. It will take some time to assess our performance. That’s the nature of T20 cricket, you have to be aggressive in the powerplay. This becomes more important when you know that the pitch will slow down later.
