Rajasthan Royals batsman Sanju Samson said that his wicket in the Indian Premier League (IPL) game against Mumbai Indians, finished the chances of a victory for the visitors.
"I was aiming to get maximum runs in that over as Lasith Malinga was about to bowl the next. I got the ball in my area and I hit it and that's what happened."
Despite failing to make an impact in previous games, Samson said he was well-backed and supported by the coaching staff of the team.
"Talking about my season, it was a bit tough for me. I thank the Royals team management, Rahul Dravid sir, Paddy Upton and each and every staff in our team. Each team member and the management support me a lot. When we do not perform well, I find too many people from our group coming up and speaking positive things," Samson said.
The 20-year-old said he could bat in any position when his team needed him to.
"I am always ready to bat up the order of anywhere in the line-up. Our team management likes to put players in the right situation. Today it was my turn to go and perform for my team," he said.
