RR vs PBKS 2024 Highlights: Punjab Kings secured a 5-wicket victory during the IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals on May 15 at Barsapara Stadium.
Despite being eliminated from the IPL 2024 campaign, Punjab Kings secured their fifth victory in Wednesday’s clash. Sam Curran’s 61 knock in the end helped the side to secure victory against Rajasthan Royals.
He was named as the Player of the match. While speaking in the post-match conference, “We bowled really well as a group. The message was that we had a lot of pride to play for. Ellis was absolutely amazing in his first game of the season. Probably should’ve played him earlier.”
“When I went in, Jonny said it was quite tough. It was holding a little bit. Didn’t need to take too much risk. Knew on a ground like this, we just needed a couple of sixes. Me and Jonny are leaving tomorrow. Nice. Have thoroughly enjoyed the season, and have enjoyed captaining.”
“The atmosphere around the group has been really good. Excited about the World Cup. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We had so many close games. Feel like the team is close to something.”
“Who knows what the future holds. Loads of positives. The chase in Kolkata. The way Shashank Singh has come into the team is amazing. Ashutosh as well. Harshal and Arshdeep have bowled well,” concluded Sam Curran.
A successful outing in Guwahati thanks to a successful chase from the Punjab Kings ❤️
Captain Sam Curran remains unbeaten to complete a 5-wicket win 👏👏
