Wickets At The Wrong Time Stopped Me From Going On With Momentum: Sanju Samson

Mumbai: RR captain Sanju Samson, who top-scored for his team with 54(49) against KKR, said he stopped himself from going on with the momentum as they kept losing wickets at “the wrong time”.

In an innings that consisted of seven boundaries and one biggie, Samson eventually finished with 54 off 49 deliveries.

Sanju Samson after the match said: “The wicket was a bit slow, but they also bowled really well but with the kind of batting we had, would have liked a few more boundaries at the end and finish off a bit better. I think we were short by 15-20 runs.”

“Having few niggles from the last couple of games, It’s feeling good now and I’m recovering well. It’s a great effort (with the ball), we showed some real fight in the game and the energy was really amazing.”

“Personally, we should have batted a bit better. Of course, win the next toss for sure. We have to keep on assessing the game and who is batting with who. Wickets at the wrong time stopped me to keep on going with the momentum. Wanted to build up the partnership and when I wanted to go hard I think they bowled really well and we couldn’t execute our shots,” he added.
