Jaipur: Speaking exclusively to Star Sports Cricket Live, former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch spoke on how Sanju Samson has performed this season,”Yeah it certainly has, he’s been playing really mature innings and that’s what is required for the team. I think in times of T20 cricket, the ego of the batsman can get in the way of what the team needs sometimes but he’s been playing each and every situation exactly how it’s needed to be done. I think he’s leading the side unbelievably well, you can see how calm the Rajasthan Royals are when they’re under pressure. And I think that the only game they lost was when they had that meltdown against GT right at the back end of the game, so they’ve been so clinical right throughout this IPL and a lot of credit has to go to Sanju for that.”
Speaking exclusively to Star Sports Cricket Live, former West Indies cricketer Brian Lara spoke about Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance last night. “Yeah, beautiful. But the fact of the matter is, he’s taking his time, looking at the ball right from up at the back, and he’s playing cricketing shots. He’s got all the stuff, he doesn’t have to worry about it. And when you do get on top of the bowlers, that’s when you take it back, because that’s what I love about Yashasvi. It was well put together, great cricketing shots, he’s managed throughout the innings, and anyone knows, if you’re chasing such a good total, at Jaipur and you bounce through the innings, you’re soon as going to get there. So he’s shown a lot of responsibility, a lot of maturity, and I’m very happy to have him back.”
Speaking exclusively to Star Sports Cricket Live, former West Indies cricketer Brian Lara shared his thoughts on Sandeep Sharma’s performance.“Very, very big impact, and also mentioned the fact that he went unsold a couple of years ago, and came in as a replacement player, and this man is cherishing every moment he has out in the middle. You know, every cricketer in India wants to play in the IPL, and they want to play continuously, and that disappointment of not being selected in an IPL auction, he’s now repaying Rajasthan Royals for their belief in him, he is a true professional, I’ve watched him over the years, he’s not express-paced, he’s not, you know, one of the boys that, you know, everyone talks about, but he gets the job done every time he goes out in the middle, and he’s just that consummate professional that every team likes to have in their ranks.”
Speaking exclusively to Star Sports Cricket Live, former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch previewed the CSK VS LSG game. “Yeah absolutely, if there is a team that is set up to play on a surface like Chepauk, it is LSG. I think coming from their home ground which is being relayed, they’ve got a great spin attack in Krunal, who is so accurate and he can play a role which is similar to Jadeja. When you look at the spinners and the big hitters, I think they are a team which matches up really well against CSK.”
