Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson was seething with anger after Gujarat Titans snatched a victory from their jaws on Wednesday. Shubman Gill and co clinched a nail-biting victory as the RR bowlers conceded too many extras, helping GT chase down the 197-run target.
Furious Sanju Samson has no answers after RR’s loss
At the post-match presentation, Samson refused to answer a question on when exactly the side let the game slip out of their hands. He then went on to say that he would answer the question later on after emotions settle down. The presenter, Pommie Mbangwa was visibly surprised with Samson’s response to his first question.
“The last ball of the game (laughs). To be honest, it is very hard to speak at this moment. The captain has the hardest job in the league to speak after losing the game and to tell where we lost is tough. Maybe after a few hours, I can tell,” Samson responded to a question.
