Jindal also met with Samson and RR co-owner Manoj Badale after the game.
“Was lovely interacting with Manoj and Sanju – was incredible to witness his power hitting at the Kotla – he got us all extremely worried and hence the animated reaction when he was out! Had the pleasure of congratulating him as well. Great win by our boys !,” said Jindal on X.
