In Pics: Sanju Samson's century in vain as Rajasthan Royals lose nail-biter to Punjab Kings
Sanju Samson became the first batsman to hit a century on his IPL captaincy debut as he smashed 119 off 63 balls against Punjab Kings in their IPL 2021 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (April 12). However, his brilliant centur was not enough to lift Rajasthan Royals as they fell short by four runs in their mammoth chase of 222. Samson was caught on the boundary off PBKS medium-pacer Arshdeep Singh off the final ball with six needed to win. Here was pictures from the super-exciting clash between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
