jaipur the abject collapse that saw rajasthan royals slip further on the points table can be termed as a brain fade moment of sanju samsons side against royal challengers bangalore rcb at the sms stadium here on sunday or in royals head coach kumar sangakkaras words it was pretty obvious that rcb did not really get us out but we got ourselves outthe finalists of the last season started the ipl 2023 with four wins in the first five games and then their campaign fizzled out from there in the last eight games they were knocked down in six with only one league game to go royals holding the 6th spot have no realistic chance to make it to the playoffscaptain samson looked perplexed as he fell short of words to explain where the team floundered towards the second half of the tournament i was thinking about where it went wrong sorry i do not have an answer for that he told star sports the official broadcasters of the tournament after the matchhe underscored the capricious nature of the tournament and added that the things can change in a couple of days funny things happen at the end of the league stages we have to be strong be professional and think about the game we are playing in dharamsala you must keep your hopes high and try your best we have to take responsibility as a team royals captain saidsangakkara rued the team got carried away in the first six overs that resulted in a 112 runs loss in the home game versus rcb i thought we bowled very well to hold them on to 171 which on this pitch was going to be a good chase and we got a bit carried away in the powerplay thinking we have to score too many runs and be ultrapositive it was a case of building partnerships but unfortunately coming out of powerplay we were five down so that was probably the end of the game he said during the postmatch press conferencelike sangakkara samson too pointed towards their horror show in powerplay we usually go hard in the powerplay but that did not quite happen today it will take some time to assess our display that is the nature of t20 cricket you have to go hard in the powerplay knowing that the wicket will slow down credit has to go out to the rcb bowlers and their teammates their energy was great and they really wanted to win this game he added
