Speaking about the emphatic win, built around Yashasvi Jaiswal’s quickfire 41, and his and Devdutt Padikkal’s fine middle-order show, the skipper said, “This win was satisfying. The atmosphere is chilled and nice, it’s not easy to maintain it when there are losses and we have done it well. Batting first suits our approach well. We want to bat positively and the bowling unit is good as well.”
The skipper also had positive words for the fielding intensity, saying that James Neesham was the livewire of the side when the Super Giants were chasing.
“The intensity in the field was good. Special mention to (James) Neesham who brought a lot of energy.”
Samson justified using Ashwin in different phases, saying that it is one of the advantages of having quality spinners in the side.
“The bonus of having quality spinners is you can use them anywhere,” said Samson.
Lucknow Super Giants’ batter Ayush Badoni said the loss had not done too much damage to the team’s chances of securing a playoff berth.

“Our stats team says both RR and LSG just have to make sure they don’t lose too badly, thanks to RCB’s poor NRR (net run rate). RCB will have to win by around 80 and RR lose by around 80 for RCB to go above RR, but RR play after RCB. So they have an advantage,” said Badoni, who was out for a first-ball duck on Sunday.
