RCB beat RR, IPL 2021: Sanju Samson says, ‘Middle-order needs some confidence’ after playoff battle tightens for Rajasthan Royals: Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson admitted that the side was not able to carry forward the momentum after opening batsmen had given the team a good start against RCB on Wednesday.
Rajasthan Royals were 100 for 1 at one stage before RCB bowlers stole the show to script a comeback. “We got a great start, but couldn’t capitalise. Middle order needs some confidence. We went in with intent, the wicket was two-paced and our batters kept mistiming it,” said Samson during the post-match presentation “To be honest, it’s been a hard one week for us, we need to put in a fight as a franchise. Happy with the effort and intent with the bowling. We don’t have anything to lose,” he added.
