Why did you drop a player who plays at number 10? Sanju Samson with disclosure
5th win for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. Rajasthan defeated Punjab Kings by three wickets in the previous match. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bowl.
Batting first, Punjab scored 147 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the stipulated over. In reply, Rajasthan overcame the target with the loss of seven wickets in 19.5 overs.
Indian player Tanush Kotian was the opening batsman for Rajasthan Royals in the match. This was also the debut match of the Indian player. Rajasthan Royals went on the field against Punjab without giving England superstar Jos Pattler a chance at the first level. In the opening, Tanush scored 24 runs off 31 balls. The player scored three fours.
Kotian was tested instead of Buttler in the Rajasthan opening which was very notable. In first-class cricket, Kotiyaan’s landing position is number eight and below. After the match, captain Sanju Samson said about Rajasthan’s opening slot being given to Kotian.
“He came into the team as an all-rounder. Kotiyaan performed well in the last Ranji Trophy. He has been impressive in the nets during practice sessions. So we didn’t want to disturb it. Buttler will be back in the next game. But in this match we wanted to test Kotian in the opening,’ Sanju Samsung said after the match.
Tanush Kotian was one of the key players in the recently concluded Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai team. Kotiyaan performed brilliantly with bat and ball as Mumbai lifted the 42nd Ranji Trophy title.
Kotian also won the Player of the Tournament award in the Ranji Trophy after scoring 502 runs and taking 29 wickets. The player has taken 24 wickets from 22 matches in T20 cricket.
Meanwhile, Yaswasi Jaiswal scored 39 runs off 28 balls for Rajasthan. West Indies star Shirmon Hetmyer brought Rajasthan to victory in the last overs. The West Indies player was decisive with 27 runs from 10 balls including one four and three sixes at a strike rate of 270.
With the win, Sanju and his team are at the top spot with 10 points from six matches, including five wins and one loss. Rajasthan’s next match is against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 16. The venue is Eden Garden, KKR’s home ground.
