Sanju Samson’s valiant effort went in vain as Rajasthan Royals lost their second consecutive match in the Indian Premier League 2024 on Tuesday, May 7. Chasing a target of 222 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Royals ended up making 201 despite Samson’s 86-run knock from 46 balls.
The visitors were in the hunt when Samson was out there, hitting bowlers all around the park. His stroke-filled knock included eight fours and six maximums but his knock came to an end when he was given out on a close call in the 16th over. Mukesh got Samson’s wicket as Shai Hope took a brilliant catch but was very close to the boundary ropes.
The third umpire took a look at the dismissal but deemed it out. The Royals lost wickets in a bundle after that and fell short by 20 runs at the end.
