RR took on MI in Match 38 of IPL 2024. While chasing a 180-run target, the Royals lost their first wicket at 74. From that point on, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson took the team home with 8 balls to spare.

The Kerela-based batter is in fantastic form this season. Having scored 314 runs in eight matches with an average of 62.8 and a strike rate of over 150, Samson is fourth in the Orange Cap standings. He has played responsible roles during chases for his side this season and has maintained his form.
This is different from his approach throughout his 10-year IPL career. Known for scoring quick runs in the middle, he is now looking to stay out there and bring his team to victory.

Navjot Singh Sidhu too praised Sanju Samson’s consistency this season. The former batter said that the RR captain now understands the importance of playing big innings, he said –
“Sanju Samson is the most improved batter of Rajasthan Royals. Earlier, he used to believe in bang-bang. He was satisfied with a quick-fire 25-30 to impact the game. However, he realized that big and important innings are needed to win matches for the team. He has now played impressive knocks and is staying till the end.”
Sidhu then went on to claim that Sanju’s new-found maturity is good news for Indian cricket.
“He can bat aggressively and the right-handed batter has all the skills to anchor the innings if needed. His growth in the batting department is good news for Indian cricket as the national team needs a batter like him in the middle-order,” Sidhu told Star Sports.
After the comfortable win against MI, Rajasthan Royals is currently on top of the table with seven wins and 14 points in just eight league matches. They will play Lucknow Super Giants in their next match on April 27 in Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium.
