In IPL 2023 on Wednesday night, Lucknow Super Giants defeated Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals by a score of 10 runs. Against the Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday night, the Rajasthan Royals suffered a narrow loss. The Royals were limited to 144/6 while attempting to chase down a relatively easy 155-run target on a slow field at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Avesh Khan bowled a brilliant final over with RR needing 19 more runs to win, picking up two wickets off back-to-back deliveries and only giving up 8. The LSG’s victory in Jaipur has brought them even with RR in terms of points, even though Sanju Samson’s team still leads the standings.
In spite of Samson’s claim that he had anticipated the pitch at SMS Stadium to behave rather slowly during the Royals’ first game there. The batters were unable to carry out their strategies perfectly.
Rajasthan Royals are doing well in the IPL 2023
Yashasvi Jaiswal (44) and Jos Buttler (40), RR’s opening pair, got the team off to a strong start in the run chase by combining for 87 runs. However, after Jaiswal left the field, the team lost three quick wickets as Samson (2), Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer (2) were all dismissed in quick succession.
Amol Muzumdar, a former batting coach for the team and a domestic legend in India has made scathing criticisms of both the RR captain and the team’s batting lineup even as Samson was run out during the game. The Royals’ loss on Wednesday night, according to Muzumdar, was largely due to the lack of a batter who can “adapt” to different game situations.
The term “muscle memory” exists. Sanju Samson is a prime example of the phrase “See the ball, hit the ball.”. He doesn’t give consequences much thought.
By daring to hit those boundaries and sixes, (he) is displaying the greatest amount of bravery. Sanju, Yashasvi Jaiswal and to some extent, Devdutt Padikkal are examples of contemporary cricketers.
On a surface like this, where Tom (Moody) rightly stated that you need to hit those pockets, they don’t have the kind of player who could adapt and play a different role, according to Muzumdar on ESPNCricinfo.
Because the square boundaries are so large, there will be larger gaps and pockets at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. You will have gaps to squirm through the former Indian player continued. In order to face the Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 23, the Royals will now travel to Bengaluru in the south.
