Kumar Sangakkara And Sanju Samson
Kumar Sangakkara On Sanju Samson: Rajasthan Royals had to face defeat by 20 runs against Delhi Capitals. Rajasthan Royals did not have a good start in this match, when opener batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the pavilion in the very first over. After this, even Jos Buttler could not show much performance. But Sanju Samson held one end and was batting well. In the 16th over, he was caught by Shai Hope on the ball of Mukesh Kumar. He scored 86 runs in the match. There was an uproar after his dismissal. Sanju also had an argument with the umpire. Now Rajasthan Royals coach Kumar Sangakkara has given a big statement on this. After Sanju’s dismissal, Royals needed 60 runs from 27 balls. But the team could not do this.
Kumar Sangakkara said this
Kumar Sangakkara said in the press conference after the match that despite his dismissal, we probably should have won this match. Get defeated. We had a great performance at the beginning of the season. We bowled brilliantly in this match, especially Ravichandran Ashwin. When Samson returned to the pavilion after being out, he was not happy because there was a suspicion that catcher Shai Hope’s feet might have touched the boundary line. The decision was referred to the TV umpire who declared Samson out but the Royals captain decided to argue with the on-field umpire before walking back out.
‘It is difficult for the third umpire to take a decision’
Kumar Sangakkara said that it depends on the replay and the angle of watching the replay and sometimes you feel that the leg has been touched. It was difficult for the third umpire to decide on this. The match was in an important phase. This happens in cricket. The decision given to you by the umpires at the end of the day. Have to stick to it. If we have any other kind of opinion on this then we will share it with the umpire and find a solution.
Kumar Sangakkara is happy with Sanju’s batting
He said that Sanju Samson has a lot of clarity about how he should bat. There are some moments where he seems to lose his rhythm and we worked on this in the free sessions. This is extremely important for him, not just as a captain but also as a batsman. He is extremely talented.
