Rajasthan Royals' (RR) skipper Sanju Samson has maintained that in a high-pressure tournament such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is not always easy to maintain a "chilled and nice" atmosphere inside the dressing room, adding that the presence of quality spinners in the side was helping the team's campaign. Former champions Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 24 runs at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday night to climb to second position with 16 points, and the team now has to ensure they don't lose too badly in their last league assignment in order to secure a playoffs berth. Speaking about the emphatic win, built around Yashasvi Jaiswal's quickfire 41, and his and Devdutt Padikkal's fine middle-order show, the skipper said, "This win was satisfying. The atmosphere is chilled and nice, it's not easy to maintain it when there are losses and we have done it well. Batting first suits our approach well. We want to bat positively and the bowling unit is good as well."
