"Toughest Job In T20 Cricket": Sanju Samson's Exceptional Praise For Dhruv Jurel

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson feels mistakes are part and parcel of T20 cricket and they will have to stick to their process despite enjoying a dream run in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Rajasthan beat Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday by seven wickets to take their points tally to 16 from nine matches. Former champions RR are enduring a dream season having registered eight wins and are perched at the top of the points table.

"We have been a little lucky as well. We have to stick to the right processes. Mistakes are supposed to happen in T20 cricket, and we reiterate to stick to the process. The results are coming our way, so it is clear that we are doing something right," said Samson in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Samson, who was named the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 71 off 33 balls while chasing 197, lauded his bowlers for restricting LSG under the 200-run mark.

"There was purchase with the new ball and when the ball got old, it was a nice wicket to bat on. It was a very good team effort. The guys who come in and bowl the crucial overs, that is also important. They know what to do each ball, there is a lot of planning going on behind the scenes and we are doing well.

"At the start, and at the end (we bowled well). In the middle overs, they took the game a little away from us," he said.

Samson also praised Dhruv Jurel for his unbeaten 52 off 34 balls as the wicketkeeper-batter finally regained his form.

"Form is temporary and batting at No 5 is the toughest job in T20 cricket. A youngster like him (Jurel), he has the composure as we have seen in Tests. We believed in him, he has been batting in the nets for one or two hours and we knew it was a matter of time (before he delivered).
