“Yeah, he said right. We put around 15-20 runs in bowling. A few six and some other runs we gave away. To be honest whenever we wanted to continue with dynamics, we lost goals.
“We want to chase sums”
Samson said at the beginning that the Pacers had been purchased, but he felt that they had things slipped into death. Captain RR said he didn’t want his party to be the one that is good only in defense and want to chase the sums.
“We wanted to mix first. At the beginning there was certainly some purchase. Jofra started brilliantly with the ball. But we let things slip in death. We will probably look at it in the next few days before we return to the next game.”
When you lose games or end up on this side, we also feel that we could chase it. We must respect the conditions. We don’t want to be a team that is good in defense. We also want to chase the sums. We want to develop our skills in both and still move forward, ”Samson said.
RR will now head to Jaipur, where they will face RCB 13th April.
