Talking about the game CSK, Sanju Samson said, “Looking at the previous matches, we played here or which we watched on the TV, I think bowling first has more advantage than bowling second. So that’s why we opted to bowl first and actually restricting CSK around 180 was really good to work by our bowlers. I thought if the dew comes on and the wicket eases out a bit, it would have been an easy chase for us actually.”

Talking about the same, “Yeah, actually it keeps on happening in this format of the game. That’s why I scored a hundred. Actually, I don’t want to restrict my shots, I want to keep on playing my shots and keep on batting the way I love to bat actually. So, I’m also accepting a lot of failures on the way. So, I am not at all worried about getting out, but at the same time, I will definitely look to keep on contributing to my team’s victory in the coming matches.”

Asked about the batting order, the RR skipper came in support of Shivam Dube, who could not get going on Monday, for the crucial No 4 position.

Samson elaborated, “I think our batting order is very nicely set up. I think Shivam Dube is someone who is good at playing spin and pace. I think No 4 really suits him. It depends upon the condition actually. I think he has definitely done really well in the domestic season and I feel he is really looking good and we expect a lot of runs from him in the coming matches.”
