Lucknow Super Giants beat Rajasthan by 10 runs in a thrilling match encounter in the 26th match of the IPL 2023. Avesh Khan bowled brilliantly in the last over, taking two wickets and defending 19 runs.
After four years, the Rajasthan Royals, who landed at the Sawai Mansingh Cricket Stadium in Jaipur, could not spread smiles on the faces of the home crowd.
After losing the winning game, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson looked extremely disappointed with the team’s performance.
He said, “It is not a good feeling after the loss, but no matter. We wanted to win our first match in Jaipur. We will learn from this match and move forward. The kind of batting lineup we have.”
According to him, they bowled brilliantly and took advantage of the conditions brilliantly.
The Rajasthan skipper added, ” I was expecting a similar pitch, a bit slower and less bouncy, and that’s what happened. You have to play smart cricket, which we played for nine overs.”
After getting out, we needed a big partnership. Whenever we tried to attack them, they bowled brilliantly. I think we lost wickets at frequent intervals.
Sanju Samson admitted that scoring 50 runs in the last five overs on this wicket was difficult. He said, “Looking at how he was bowling, scoring 50 runs in five overs on a wicket like this was difficult. You learn whether you win or lose, which is the thing about this game.”
