IPL 2022 SRH vs RR: Rajasthan Royals thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 61 runs in their first match of IPL 2022. 

RR captain Sanju Samson smacked 55 runs off 27 balls and was adjudged the man of the match. After winning the award, Sanju said, 'Happy to contribute to team's victory. I worked on my fitness. I chose the right scoring opportunities. Tried to spend time on the wicket. Leaders like Sangakkara help me a lot. A lot of cricketing brains has gone in to pick the right side.'

'I think it was a different wicket than what we thought. The wicket was helping the fast bowlers if you hit the typical Test match lengths. No long time goals. This season we have come in with great dreams. Our owners take great care of us. Lot of good sides and we will take one game at a time.' added Sanju. 

Rajasthan Royals will take on Mumbai Indians in their next fixture on April 2nd at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.
