Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson was elated after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The young wicketkeeper-batsman said the Royals never gave up even as a win looked improbable after KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal added 120 runs for the opening partnership in no time.”It’s funny that we kept believing (that we could win). I kept the overs of Mustafizur and Tyagi for the end, believing. Cricket is a funny game right. We just kept fighting and believing. I always believe in my bowlers, want to keep fighting and that’s why I kept those two overs till the end,” Samson said.
