Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson had "no answer" to the dismal performance his batters dished out in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, getting bundled out for 59, the third-lowest innings total ever in the IPL. Faf du Plessis` RCB won the match by 112 runs after posting 171 for five. The visitors finished off the opposition in just 10.3 overs with South African quick Wayne Parnell emerging the most successful bowler with 3/10 from three overs. The famed Royals batting simply crumbled with the home team reduced to 5/28 in powerplay from which it could never recover.
On the floundering campaign in the second half of the IPL, Samson said, "That is a great question, actually. I was thinking about it and where it went wrong. Sorry, I do not have an answer for that." Four Royals batters, including openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were out for duck, while Sanju Samson could only score four runs. Samson, though, put up a brave front saying IPL is a tournament where a turnaround can happen within a couple of days. "We all know the nature of the IPL. We know things can change in a couple of days. Funny, funny things happen at the end of the league stages. We have to be strong, be professional and think about the game we are playing in Dharamsala. You have to keep your hopes high and try your best," he added.
