Rajasthan Royals suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in game number 60 of the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League on Sunday.

Rajasthan Royals Suffered An Embarrassing Defeat

The Royals’ batting lineup failed miserably in the game as they could only score 59 runs in 10.3 overs during their chase, failing to get even close to RCB’s 171 runs from the first innings. With this, they registered the third-lowest total in the Indian Premier League.

Later, captain Sanju Samson spoke about his team’s chances of making it to the IPL 2023 playoffs after their defeat against RCB. Samson stated that their top 3 batters had been scoring runs consistently in the ongoing tournament but failed to deliver in this game. He praised the RCB bowlers for their energy and intensity.

Samson On RR’s Playoffs Chances

Samson said that the target could have been chased if they had a decent powerplay, but it didn’t happen. Samson also reflected on his team’s poor performance and stated that everyone needed to take responsibility as a team. He said:

“I think our top three were scoring a lot of runs, we go hard in the powerplay but it didn’t come out today. I think it’s too soon to analyze or dissect the game. You need to go hard in the powerplay knowing the ball was getting slower and older, that’s the way me, Jaiswal and Jos have played throughout. Credit to the RCB bowlers for their energy and intensity.”

He added:

“I think this was a target that could have gone to the wire, I expected a tight match if we had a decent powerplay. I was just thinking seeing the batting collapse where we went wrong? I don’t think I have an answer to that yet.”

Further, Samson added that they need to end the tournament on a strong note. When asked about RR’s chances of making it to the playoffs, Samson remained optimistic about his team’s chances of making it to the playoffs. He said:

“We all know the nature of the IPL, we’ve seen some funny things happen in the league stage. We have to keep strong, take a day off and think about the game in Dharamshala. I think we need to end on a strong note. We have to take responsibility on the whole as a team for this performance.”
