He has played four matches and won all four. On Saturday, Rajasthan also won by 6 wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. In the match, Virat Kohli scored the first century of IPL 2024 and took RCB to the score of 183. In response, Rajasthan Royals easily achieved the target thanks to Jos Buttler’s 100* runs and Sanju Samson’s 69 runs. While Shane Watson and Ajay Jadeja scored on Jio Cinema’s Match Center Live, Virat Kohli (113* runs), Jos Buttler (100* runs) and sanju samson Discussed the brilliant innings of (69 runs). The way he played, there was no flaw in the pitch – Ajay Jadeja Talking about Virat, Ajay Jadeja said, he started well. Hit boundaries in the first few overs. He looked special tonight. However, he said that the balls were not coming well on this pitch. But the way he batted, we did not see any flaw in the pitch. From what he said it seemed there was something in the pitch. But the way he played, no shortcomings were visible. Shane Watson talked about the partnership between Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson. He said it was quite impressive. Everyone knew that he did not have runs in the first few matches. But today once he played 10-11 balls, you would see that he timed it beautifully. Jose gave his best. He got full support from Sanju Samson. There was a partnership of 148 runs between the two, in which Samson had 69 runs. With this he easily achieved the target. He will have a long and successful IPL with the bat this year – Shane Watson Watson said that Sanju played with patience. A strike rate of 130 in the first 10 balls means you are just trying to take singles. You are waiting for the weak ball and then hitting it. Because of all the shot options Sanju Samson has, he scores runs very freely. You can see them calm. And he keeps it up game after game. There is no reason why their tournament should not be very successful. I am really predicting that he will have a long and successful IPL with the bat this year.
