"I think the toss was the game changer"- RR captain Sanju Samson after win against MI in IPL 2024 clash
At the post-match presentation, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson reflected on the victory and said:
"I think the toss was the game changer. It was too sticky to start off and we had the experience of Trent Boult and the pace of Nandre Burger to exploit it. Boult has been playing international cricket for 10-15 years and he knows his skill better than anyone else."
Samson added:
"I didn't expect them to be 4 down so early but credit to him. We know that we have big individual players but where we stand out is everybody understands their role and works as a team. Like Ashwin and Chahal knew their role was to not go for wickets but to keep it tight and they did that."
RCB and LSG will square off in the next match of IPL 2024 on Tuesday (April 2) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
