Coming back to IPL 2024, Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals clinched a thrilling win in their last fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders. Chasing a mammoth target of 224, Rajasthan Royals secured a memorable win on the final ball of the contest.

Jos Buttler was Rajasthan Royals’ star performer during the run chase. The Englishman had scored a superb century to guide his side to an epic triumph against Kolkata Knight Riders. Following the game, Samson labeled it a ‘funny encounter.’

“We all were tensed during the run-chase. Games against Punjab in the last 3-4 years, each and every game is a very close, very funny feeling. They were bowling really well, it was a funny game,” Sanju Samson had said at the post-match presentation.

“Last game, we did some really great things and we ended up on the losing side. Today, we made a bit more mistakes and we ended up winning the game. It’s a very funny game, so we’d like to keep our heads down and just do the process,” he added.

Rajasthan Royals will return to action Monday to host the five-time champions Mumbai Indians. The Hardik Pandya-led side are placed at the seventh spot on the IPL 2024 points table.
