Sanju Samson, captain of the Rajasthan Royals (RR), led by example against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Sunday (March 24). After openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal left early in the powerplay, it fell to Samson to guide his side to a respectable total.
Samson and Riyan Parag, who was just promoted to the fourth place in the RR squad, formed a strong connection that troubled the LSG bowling attack. The India hitter struck a brilliant unbeaten 82-run knock off 52 balls, as RR set a 194-run target for LSG.
Here are some of the best reactions from the fans who took to Twitter to express their delight:
