“Sanju batted beautifully. The shot selection was very good. Realizing the pace of the wicket and realizing that the ball was not turning, he played towards the striker boundaries. He played with the pace of the ball. He has the power to clear any ground in the world. He loves to bat in Pune. He had earlier scored a century here in the IPL. He is still in explosive form. If he had been at the crease for five more overs, the Rajasthan Royals would probably have crossed the 230 mark, ”said Shastri.
