Rajasthan Royals Captain Sanju Samson showcased his explosive form in the IPL once again, scoring an unbeaten 82 runs as Rajasthan Royals set a challenging target of 193 for four against Lucknow Super Giants in their season opener. The Royals’ captain smashed six sixes and three fours in his 52-ball innings, displaying impressive shots across the ground.

His innings not only provided momentum but also stability to the Royals after losing early wickets in the Powerplay.

Riyan Parag played a supporting role with a well-crafted 43 off 29 balls, including a four and three sixes, contributing to a crucial 93-run partnership for the third wicket. Parag’s innings, although ending in the 15th over, added to the team’s total, with Dhruv Jurel also chipping in with a quick-fire 20 not out off 12 balls.

However, a potential setback was avoided when Krunal Pandya’s collision with non-striker Samson, while attempting a catch, didn’t result in a dismissal. Despite early challenges, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s aggressive start and contributions from other batsmen kept the Royals competitive after losing Jos Buttler early in the innings.
