Sanju Samson After RR Defeat
“We gave away 15-20 runs extra in the bowling. When we needed momentum we lost wickets. With Hettie, sixes and four kept coming. But I lost my wicket and that’s where we lost the game. The way Jofra started was good, he picked up Shubman’s wicket. Then we went off plan.”
“We planned something but they executed something else. We will have to look at that tomorrow. When you lose games, we also feel should we have chased? Should we have done something else? But we want to be a team that wins games while chasing, not just win batting first.”
Complete Batting Collapse For Royals
