04/13/2021

Not many times we see a battle between a whole team and one player. But on Monday, in the encounter between PBKS and RR, at the Wankhede, that was the case, when Sanju Samson batted out of his skin and slammed a phenomenal 63-ball-119, however, his efforts went into vain as PBKS won the thriller.

An innings to remember for Sanju Samson

Can't agree more

When @IamSanjuSamson scores 25 it is a melody. This century is a symphony. An absolute treat to watch from one of the most gifted players around.

He literally gave is hundred percent

Point to note...Samson came into bat in the first over and was there till the last ball of the innings. He came of age tonight I thought. First hundred in a run chase too. Let’s hope he can keep his form through the length of the IPL.#RRvsPBKS #SanjuSamson

Extremely special innings from extremely special player

It’s unfair that one team had to lose tonight. Sanju’s innings will be remembered as one of the finest #IPL innings in the losing cause. The hitting we have witnessed today was simply unbelievable. No wonder we are calling Wankhede as the Six Hitting Central. #IPL2021 #RRvPBKS
