After winning four consecutive games, Rajasthan Royals (RR) suffered their first defeat of the season against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Jaipur last night. After Wednesday, there are no more unbeaten teams in the IPL 2024
The match was a thriller and went on till the last ball. GT’s Rashid Khan hit a four on the last ball of the 20th over as his team chased down a 197-run target against RR in Jaipur. This is the second highest total chased down in Jaipur in IPL.
After the game, Royals captain Sanju Samson was asked, “Where was the game lost?”
“I think the last ball of the game,” replied Sanju Samson.
“Really!” the commentator replied, as he sounded quite surprised
Then Samson elaborated: “Very hard to speak at the moment. Hardest job in the tournament when a captain loses the game and has to tell where the game was lost. When the emotions come down I’ll be able to tell clearly. Have to give credit to the Gujarat Titans. That’s the beauty of this tournament.
“Will have to learn and move on. While I was batting I thought something around 180 would’ve been a fighting score. 196 was a winning score I thought. With no dew, our bowling lineup should’ve done it. It wasn’t easy to go hard at the start of the innings. 197 at Jaipur, without dew, we’ll take it any day.”
