IPL 2025, Match 59th, RR vs PBKS: Captains’ Corner
“We started off well. Couldn’t ask for more. We couldn’t carry on the momentum we got in the powerplay. It was gettable with the kind of the wicket and outfield. With our batting line-up and power-hitters, we thought it was chaseable. We just have to get the job done and finish off the innings. We have experienced guys, we are trying our best but things are not falling our way. We can’t try much. First priority is to win the game. Try a few options keeping next year in mind.”
Sanju Samson(RR Captain) said post-match
“Finger injury [right index finger]. Don’t know what has happened. Yesterday while practice, I got hit. Will have to check. Was passing on message to players. Body language tends to drop when opposition plays well. Brar is consistent in the nets. Today he stepped in and delivered. His mindset has been tremendous throughout. Absolutely brilliant approach and attitude. Guys were in high spirits. We showed the mindset that we wanted to win irrespective of the situation. [Jaipur being home ground] We saw spinners were difficult to take charge over. Majority of runs were scored off fast bowlers. We can change the game from any situation.”
Shreyas Iyer(Punjab Kings Captain) said post-match
