Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson led his team to perfection during the high-voltage IPL 2024 eliminator clash against Rajasthan Royals. Bowling first, the Royals restricted RCB to an under-par 172-run total as Samson took some fantastic on-field calls.
The keeper-batter from Kerala was at his aggressive best, guiding his bowlers perfectly during the high-pressure game. While most of his decisions paid rich dividends for the Royals, one of his signals took the limelight.
During the final over of RCB's innings, Samson was pumped up and determined to restrict RCB to a below 175-run total. After Sandeep Sharma conceded a boundary off his first ball, Samson asked Jaiswal to be alert on the field as his misfield cost them four runs.
It was a short ball from Sandeep as Karn guided it through the off side. However, despite the ball being within his reach, Jaiswal committed a fielding blunder, leading to a boundary.
His sloppy effort evoked a furious reaction from Samson, who signalled him to be alert on the field.
Meanwhile, regarding the game, RCB breached the 170-run mark, courtesy of useful contributions from Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Mahipal Lomror.
All of these batters struck blazing thirties, with Swapnil Singh and Karn Sharma taking RCB to a respectable total through some crucial boundaries in the last over.
This is a must-win fixture for both teams as a loss would lead to their elimination from the IPL 2024.
