We Had Trust And Real Belief In Him: Samson On Riyan’s 56*(31) vs RCB

Mumbai: RR captain Sanju Samson praised Riyan Parag for his performance against RCB as they won by 29 runs. The Royals were in trouble after losing three wickets in powerplay and their in-form batter Jos Buttler as well. But a brilliant unbeaten knock of 56 runs helped RR win against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The captain said that he has been consistently backing Parag, and in the end, it paid rich dividends. “It’s a really great win. After the start in the first 15 overs, we had real faith and trust in someone called Riyan Parag. We have been backing him for the last three-four years and he showed the world today. I thought we were 10-15 runs short with no dew in the second innings. The pitch was turning and two-paced, so 150-160 would have been a good score. It was something we were waiting for, for the back end of our batting to win us matches. Almost everyone has put up a match-winning performance so far,” said Sanju Samson in a post-match. presentation.Also Read: It’s A Game Of Confidence, We’ll Continue To Back Him: Du Plessis On Kohli’s Form

“Our conversation just before the second innings was that when you’re chasing 200 there’s only one gear. But for 150 totals, it was just a matter of putting pressure on because the batsmen had to change gears. The dressing room environment is really important. We make some changes depending on the wicket and the opponent, but the dialogue is very important. Karun, for example, was left out just because we needed that one over from Daryl Mitchell, and he understands that, and he can come back in later,” he added.

Kuldeep Sen’s four wickets and Riyan Parag’s unbeaten 56 helped Rajasthan Royals register a 29-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MCA Stadium here on Tuesday. Apart from Kuldeep, Ravichandran Ashwin took three and Krishna took two wickets.
