Sanju Samson had to walk out of the field batting in a high-voltage encounter between Delhi capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) after injuring his ribs at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, 16 April.
Rajasthan skippers left for a dazzling start as he scored 31 off 19 balls with the help of two fours and three sixes. RR left to start a flight in search of a target of 189 runs as Yashasvi Jaiswal was also firing on all cylinders from the other end. However, in the final of the powerplay, Sanju tried to reduce Gugli from leg-spinner Vipraj Nigam and failed to connect. He hurt his ribs in this process as the physio reached the center to participate in it.
It was a no-ball, and Samson tried to continue batting after receiving treatment. He drilled the free-hit ball for a long time, but did not go for the run. Kerala wicketkeeper-Baateter was understood that he was in painful pain and decided to leave the ground to treat himself. He did not come out to bat later in the innings as the inaugural champions lost in the super over.
Talking to Jiohotstar after the match, Samson claimed that he felt fine and stated that the border of the injury would be analyzed on Thursday.

“It seems fine (her injury). I was not ready to just come back and bat. It seems right now. We will see it tomorrow and see how it is,” Samson said.
Mitchell Starc is one of the best people around the world: Sanju Samson
Mitchell Starc bowled in an outstanding final against Royals, as he scored just eight runs defending nine against power hits such as Dhruv Jurlel and Shimron Hetmyer. In the super over, the Australian speedster scored 11 runs. Triston Stabs and KL Rahul took Delhi home with two balls. Stark was awarded the Player of the Match for his unprecedented performance at the final moments of the match. After the match, he received great praise from Samson.
“The beginning we got in the powerplay, I felt that it is definitely a score -able score. I think as we all have seen some great bowling by Starci. He is one of the best people around the world. I would like to give it to Starcie. He won the game in the 20th over. Saying the dressing room,” a disgraced Samson.
