Watch: Sanju Samson does lightning fast stumping to dismiss Shreyas Iyer
During the game against Delhi Capitals, the skipper of the Rajasthan Royals Sanju Samson was brilliant with both the bat and the gloves. He was lightning fast to dismiss the opponent skipper, Shreyas Iyer who was in good touch.
Coming to the match, the Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to field against Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals. It looked like the decision from Samson was right when they dismissed both the Delhi openers cheaply.
However, the skipper Rishabh Pant built a much-needed partnership with his ex-skipper, Shreyas Iyer. After losing Pant, Iyer wanted to play a big shot of Rahul Tewatia but completely lost the balanced.
But, Samson did not miss the opportunity and quickly disturbed the furniture. When Delhi was looking for a player who could take them to a decent total, Hetymer played a decent knock and took them to 154 at the end of 20 overs.

While chasing a moderate total, the Rajasthan Openers Liam Livingston and Yashasvi Jaiswal wanted to attack the Delhi pacers but lost their wickets cheaply. Apart from Samson, no one had answers to Delhi bowlers.
The skipper of Rajasthan Royals smacked 8 fours and a six during his knock of 70 off 53 deliveries. With the comfortable win against the struggling Rajasthan, Rishabh's Delhi moved to 1st place in the points table and became the first team to qualify for the playoffs.
Rajasthan Royals would look to win all the remaining games to have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals who are in the first spot would look to finish at the same place by winning the remaining matches.
