Abu Dhabi: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson heaps praises on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opening batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, congratulating him on scoring his maiden century in Indian Premiere League. Rajastan had won yesterday’s match against Chennai by seven wickets, at the Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, keeping their play-off hopes alive.
‘Unbelievable batting by Gaikwad, we’re afraid of a batsman like him. Really a lot of respect to him. We aren’t thinking too far ahead, one match at a time,’ Samson said during the post-match presentation. He also appreciated youngsters from his own team, ‘We are aware of the abilities of our youngsters, that’s why we get disappointed when we lose matches. Our openers finished off the game in the PP, Jaiswal was superb, hopefully, he’ll make it big’, he added.
