Almost a weak and half time from inaugurate of 11th season of IPL, with 14 matches having been played by each franchise in India. Up till now a quarter of the league stage match has been completed, and certain trends have emerged. In the beginnings of the tournament, team winning the toss and electing to chase has been the flavor of the opening season. A fresh start from Rajasthan Royals batsmen Sanju Samson scored 92 runs off 45 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing IPL.
The in-from Rajasthan Royals batsman Sanju Samson said he was on the right track to go on the tournament. “It is good thing to come here and play. The whole world is watching us. I had a good domestic season too before IPL tournament. I am happy the way things are going. I am improving as a player and also improving my skills,” said Samson, who has been praised by the likes of Proteas powerhouse AB de Villiers and former skipper of Rajasthan Royals Shane Warne.
On the eve of the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Samson said he hopes to keep the momentum going. “I have batted in almost all positions in the batting line-up. I remember I had opened too for Rajasthan Royals. What matters is the strategy and composition of the playing XI.” Asked about the bigger ground here and his team’s plans to tackle the KKR spin attack, he said, “Our plans are simple, we would be playing with same plan and energy. Jaipur is our fortress and we wish to continue with the winning streak here. The wicket too is familiar to us.”
