IPL 2021 - Sanju Samson believes individual performances can help them win After facing a few losses, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has said that he can only hope now that a few individual performances can help them win in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He also backed Liam Livingstone’s decision to quit the bio-bubble amid this crunch time of COVID-19 while stating that positivity is key now to stay in the tournament. Rajasthan Royals began the tournament with a defeat against Punjab Kings but that ended in a high-scoring thriller at the Wankhede stadium. Sanju Samson smashed a stunning hundred but couldn’t take the team home. Meanwhile, their only win so far in the tournament came against the Delhi Capitals, which came on the back of Chris Morris who sealed the deal for the franchise at the end.

“Speaking of which, I felt the rhythm return to my batting against RCB after two off games. I thought I was playing every ball the way it was meant to be played, and the flow was great all the way until the ball I got out,” Samson wrote on his column for Hindustan Times. “The positive way to look at that is, yes, we are all finding our touch as individuals. Now I can only hope that these individual performances are soon converted into match-winning performances. Until then, rest assured that we are keeping the faith,” he further added. Meanwhile, RR wouldn’t get the service of their key players due to injuries - Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes. With another international player Liam Livingstone’s decision to return home, owing to the bio-bubble fatigue, Samson said that he understood Livingstone’s situation, However, he also shared that it has given others the opportunities to step up and show their talent.

“The bubble fatigue is bad enough for everyone. But it is even worse if you aren’t playing matches. So I completely understand where Liam (Livingstone) came from. The management was very understanding about what he wanted and we proceeded exactly as per his wishes. Sure, the exits and injuries have left us far from full-strength; but we have enough great talent–Indian and international–in our ranks, so I’m far from complaining,” he concluded.
