TATA IPL 2022: Sanju Samson dominates after Royals lose Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal

Rajasthan Royals had a wonderful powerplay as they made SRH pay for their mistakes. Skipper Sanju Samson completed his first fifty in the very first game of IPL 2022.

Rajasthan Royals’ captain Sanju Samson hits his first fifty of IPL 2022 in the very first game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rajasthan Royals are up against Kane Williamson’s Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first match of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League at MCA Stadium, Pune. Sanju Samson’s pink army had a wonderful powerplay as they made SRH pay for their mistakes.

Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers bowled 4 no-balls in the first six overs. It was not a start Sunrisers expected but vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar himself did the mistake in the very first over of the game when he had the chance to send back Jos but his no-ball saved the Englishmen’s life. However, Jos couldn’t take advantage of that as he was dismissed by Umran Malik in the 9th over on 35.
