'There was some miscalculation' - Aakash Chopra criticizes Sanju Samson not utilising bowlers optimally despite win against CSK

Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 32 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, April 28, and replaced CSK at the no.1 spot in the points table, on the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side have moved to the 3rd spot. This is the second time that RR beat CSK in the ongoing 16th edition of the Indian Premier League.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra isn't satisfied with RR's skipper Sanju Samson as he believes that despite having more than 5 bowling options, the right-hander didn't use his bowlers well. He even mentioned that there were some miscalculations from Samson as Adam Zampa bowled only 3 overs in the match.

"They played Adam Zampa, who picked up three wickets, the most important of which was Devon Conway, and then he dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad and picked up another wicket later. Zampa bowled only three overs, which was slightly surprising. Sanju had more than five bowling options for the first time and he also got stuck." Aakash said on his YouTube Channel.

"There was some miscalculation that he didn't get Zampa to bowl his full quota of overs. Jason Holder conceded nearly 50 runs in his four overs but he was bowled his entire quota. The other two fast bowlers - Sandeep Sharma and Kuldip Yadav - seven overs between them, six an over. Both bowled extremely well." he added.

Chahal's record is extremely ordinary on this ground: Aakash Chopra 

Aakash heaped praise on R Ashwin as he dismissed two batters in a single over and put pressure on CSK. However, he was surprised as leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal didn't get a single wicket and felt that he should've gotten at least one wicket on this kind of pitch.

"Ravichandran Ashwin picked up two wickets in an over. He first dismissed Ajinkya Rahane one more time, he has dismissed him many times and did so once more. Then Ambati Rayudu came in as the 'Impact Player' but couldn't make an impact. They were very important wickets. They pegged them (CSK) back suddenly. Interestingly, Yuzi Chahal didn't get a single wicket. It was slightly surprising as he should get wickets on this pitch and this ground but his record is extremely ordinary on this ground." he said.
