After the team’s second consecutive defeat, Samson said, ‘After losing the toss on a slow wicket, the score of 170 runs was really a good score. It was difficult to bat in power-play. Although. RCB performed brilliantly on this pitch and managed to win the match with 15 balls. Samson said that Rajasthan Royals had lost the match in the powerplay itself.

He said, ‘I knew that Salt and Kohli would give us a tough competition. He won the match in the powerplay itself. Sanju did not blame him for several catches left by his fielders. He said, ‘He (RCB players) also left our catch, we also left his catch, but he batted better. RCB will have to give credit. His intention was better. Will have to say that the toss helped. I would like to take this match to the 19th or 20th over.
At the same time, RCB captain Rajat Patidar praised Kohli’s contribution, who made it unilaterally using his immense experience. He said, ‘Wickets were not easy to bat, we had set a target of 150-170. It was enjoyable to see Salt playing while batting with the dugout. The way VK Bhai rotated the strike, it was quite special. We are not a team that sees the pitch. We want to play positive and good cricket.
