IPL 2024 44th Match LSG vs RR: Captains’ Corner
We left about 20 runs out there. We did not get off to an ideal start but the partnership me and Hooda had…more crucial for the set batters to make their 50-60s into hundreds. They bowled well in the last couple of overs. We were in a good position and should have capitalised more, and got 20-25 runs more. (On RR hitting more sixes) It has become clearer that the team that hits more sixes wins the game. The ball has been travelling and it has been hard on them (the bowlers). Not much chat about it (hitting sixes).
Kl Rahul said post-match
There was purchase with the new ball and when the ball got old, it was a nice wicket to bat on. (On their bowling) It was a very good team effort. The guys who come in and bowl the crucial overs, that is also important. They know what to do each ball, there is a lot of planning going on behind the scenes and we are doing well. At the start and at the end (we bowled well). In the middle overs, they took the game a little away from us. (On Jurel) Form is temporary and batting at No.5 is the toughest job in T20 cricket. A youngster like him, he has the composure as we have seen in Tests. We believed in him, he has been batting in the nets for one or two hours and we knew it was a matter of time (before he delivered).
