"We planned something but they executed something else" - Sanju Samson's laments bowling unit's lack of execution after loss to Gujarat Titans
After the 58-run defeat to the Titans in Ahmedabad, Samson admitted that his wicket for 41 was the turning point in pursuit of 219 but also felt the bowlers didn't execute their plans well.
"We gave away 15-20 runs extra in the bowling. When we needed momentum we lost wickets. With Hettie, sixes and four kept coming. But I lost my wicket and that's where we lost the game. The way Jofra started was good, he picked up Shubman's wicket. Then we went off plan. We planned something but they executed something else."
