Sanju Samson’s Masterclass Leads RR to Victory Against LSG

In a captivating encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) clashed with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the fourth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.

Batting first, RR got off to a solid start, laying a foundation for a competitive total. However, it was Sanju Samson’s sublime innings that propelled RR to a formidable score. The RR skipper showcased his class and composure as he anchored the innings with a magnificent knock of 82 runs off just 52 deliveries.
