Indian Premier League 2023: In the 26th league match of the 16th season of IPL, the victory chariot of the Rajasthan Royals team, which has been going on for the last 3 matches, finally stopped. The Rajasthan team had to face a close defeat of 10 runs against the Lucknow Super Giants at their home ground. Chasing a target of 155 runs, a team was looking in a very strong position till the end of 10 overs, but the team had to face defeat due to the loss of wickets at regular intervals.
Sanju Samson, captain of the Rajasthan Royals team, appeared disappointed after the close defeat in this match, while he said in his statement that after facing defeat, he does not feel good at all. Our effort was to win our first match in Jaipur. We will try to learn from this defeat and move forward. Looking at our batting, we should have achieved this target, but the Lucknow team bowled very well in the conditions here.
A brilliant final over from @Avesh_6 @LucknowIPL win by 10 runs to add two more points to their tally.

Sanju Samson further said in his statement that we needed to play a little better on this wicket which we did for 9 overs. After Jaiswal’s dismissal, we should have made another big partnership. They bowled very well against us and I think we lost wickets too early.
It is not an easy task to score 50 runs in 5 overs on this pitch.
Samson further said that scoring 50 runs in the last 5 overs on this pitch is not an easy task at all and his bowling made it even more difficult. Whether you win or lose in this game, you definitely get to learn. We will try to learn a lot from this defeat. We did much better in bowling and restricted them to 150 runs. We have to focus on the coming matches while improving the mistakes made in this match.
