Rajasthan Royals&rsquo; (RR) young skipper Sanju Samson admitted that he is experiencing the pressure to perform consistently in a high pressure tournament like the IPL.&nbsp;
However, he clarified that he is not worried about his failures in the game.
RR failed to chase Chennai Super Kings&rsquo; (CSK) 188-9 and subsequently lost by 45 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. Samson, 26, who scored 119 against Punjab Kings in RR&rsquo;s first game of the tournament, later just managed only four versus Delhi Capitals. He got out for one against CSK while trying to hit left-arm pacer Sam Curran&rsquo;s slower one for Dwayne Bravo to take a simple catch at mid-on. &nbsp;
&ldquo;Pressure to perform consistently is always there. When you play an IPL match, pressure is always there. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail. There are a lot of ways to look at the dismissals, so I will go back and review them,&rdquo; Samson said at the post-match virtual press conference on Monday night. &nbsp; &nbsp;
However, the hard-hitting batsman asserted that he will not restrict his shots. &ldquo;IPL definitely demands lot of risk-taking shots and I said before when I succeeded, I took lot of risks that&rsquo;s why I scored a hundred. I don&rsquo;t want to restrict my shots. I want to keep on playing my shots and keep on batting the way I love to bat. I am also accepting a lot of failures on the way. So I am not at all worried about getting out, but at the same time I will definitely look to keep on contribute to my team to win matches,&rdquo; Samson remarked.
Samson has scored 2,708 runs in 110 IPL games which includes three centuries. RR opener Jos Buttler tried his best, contributing 49 in 35 balls (5x4, 2x6), but that was not sufficient as CSK off-spinner Moeen Ali (3-0-7-3) and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (2-28) played vital roles in restricting RR to 143-9 in the allotted 20 overs. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
