Sanju Samson has led the side to it’s fourth win in equal number of matches. But, after the win on Saturday, did he say that Kohli helped RR win the match?
Jaipur: It was a massive heartbreak for Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they were beaten by Rajasthan Royals on Saturday at the Sawai Mansingh stadium. The Royals beat the Royal Challengers by six wickets to go top of the table. Sanju Samson has led the side to it’s fourth win in equal number of matches. But, after the win on Saturday, did he say that Kohli helped RR win the match? There is a morphed image of a fake quote doing the rounds on social space. There is no truth behind the quote. The fake tweet read:
Sanju: “Virat Kohli helped us alot”
Commentator: “But he scored a 100(67)”
Sanju Samson: “That’s why” (laughs)

Kohli hit a brilliant century during the game, the first of IPL 2024. He remained unbeaten on 113* off 72 balls. It was his eighth IPL ton.
“Anything below 190 with a little bit of dew, with the batting order we have, it was a good score to chase. Touchwood, a few games to go, they are doing well, four days of gap, allows people to recover, rest, train and allows you to come charged up for a game. Bowling is 9 and batting is 8.7. [on Buttler] Just about time, if he gets through the powerplay, and if he hits it, very happy for him and very happy for the team,” Samson said after the win in the post-match presentation.
RCB play their next match against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium on April 11.
