The captain has the hardest job in IPL to speak after losing: Sanju Samson after last-ball thriller

A thrilling chase saw Gujarat Titans (GT) have the upper hand and break the 4-match winning streak of Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur on 10th April. GT captain Shubman Gill was asked whether the team had left too much too get in the final overs to which he said that he backed the ability of his players. “We were targeting 45 in 3 overs and it is very much gettable and that was the mindset at that time. Mathematically both batters needed to hit 22 off 9 balls and that's how the thinking goes and if one batter goes berserk that will do. I would have loved to finish the game, but very happy with Rahul and Rashid bhai for finishing the job for us. Winning the ball off the last ball is always a great feeling. Rashid Khan is someone who you always want in your team, he is such a competitor (sic),” Shubman said.

Losing captain Sanju Samson was asked where he thought the team lost the game to which he stated that it was in the final ball of the game. “To be honest, it is very hard to speak at this moment. The captain has the hardest job in the league to speak after losing the game and to tell where we lost is tough. Maybe after a few hours, I can tell. You have to give credit to the Gujarat Titans the way they batted, bowled and fielded. We will learn from this and move on,” Sanju mentioned.
