“Toughest job in T20 cricket”: Sanju Samson’s extraordinary praise for Dhruv Jurel cricket news

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson believes mistakes are an integral part of T20 cricket and they need to stick to their process despite enjoying a dream performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Rajasthan defeated Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets on Saturday and took its points tally to 16 from nine matches. Former champions RR are having a dream season by registering eight wins and are on top of the points table.

“We have been a bit lucky as well. We have to stick to the right processes. Mistakes are going to happen in T20 cricket and we reiterate that we have to stick to the process. The results are coming in our favor, so it is clear that we Doing something right,” Samson said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Samson, who was named player of the match for his unbeaten 71 off 33 balls while chasing 197, praised his bowlers for restricting LSG to the 200-run mark.

“There was purchase with the new ball and when the ball got old, it was a good wicket to bat on. It was a very good team effort. The guys who come in and bowl important overs are also important. They know each other.” There is a lot of planning going on behind the scenes as to what to do on the ball and we are performing well.

“In the beginning and the end (we bowled well). In the middle overs they took the game away from us a bit,” he said.

Samson also praised Dhruv Jurel for his unbeaten 52 off 34 balls as the wicketkeeper-batsman finally got his form back.

“Form is temporary and batting at No. 5 in T20 cricket is the toughest job. A young player like him (Jurel) has patience as we have seen in Tests. We had confidence in him, he has been batting in the nets for a long time. Have been.” Or two hours and we knew it was a matter of time (before he arrived).

Meanwhile, a disappointed LSG skipper KL Rahul felt that his team was around 20 runs short.

“We left around 20 runs behind. We didn’t get the ideal start, but the partnership between me and Hooda (115 runs) was fantastic. In these types of games, the set batsman has to score close to a century, 50-60, Rahul said.

“After about 15 overs we were at 150, we should have taken a little more advantage of it. It is clear that the team that hits more sixes wins. We tried to hit sixes but today after those two early wickets we had to The approach had to change,” she said.

“If Hooda had stepped up and scored 20 more (runs), and I had scored 20 more (runs), we would have finished around 220. That would have been the difference, that’s the 20 runs we left behind.” Rahul said that it is important for the batsmen to give extra leeway to the bowlers in this IPL.

“We are seeing in every game how important it is to give extra cushion to the bowlers because they are under the pump. Everyone loves range hitting and hitting it all over the park, we are no different. It is part of the preparation, ” He said.

“Our big hitters are Stoinis (Marcus Stoinis) and (Nicholas) Pooran who can hit big shots. Others like us try to pick our areas and time the shots better,” he said.
