'Doing Something Wrong...,' KL Rahul Finds Faults in His Captaincy

Just when things were looking in control for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), they lost the match from a situation they could have won courtesy of a strong comeback with the ball from Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) bowlers. Skipper KL Rahul during the post-match presentation seemed quite satisfied with the team's effort to pull back the match in their favour.

The match was in RR's grip right from the start but as soon as they lost their fourth wicket, momentum started to shift in the opposite direction. In the end, the visitors claimed victory by 10 runs after Avesh Khan picked three wickets in the final stages of the game.

However, there was one moment in the game where Rahul suffered a blow to his arm when a throw from his fielder hit him and caused trouble while fielding. To address the issue, LSG skipper spoke in a light manner by saying that he's not doing something right as a skipper which is why his teammates are hitting him with the ball.

"I got hit by one of the throws from my teammates, so clearly doing something wrong as captain,"

Adding to this, he said that they was no dew on the field which made it fair for both teams as they were able to use the conditions to good effect after being 10 runs short of the target.

"In the 10 over mark, the message me and Kyle sent out was 160 would be a good total on this track, they have some good bowlers as well who exploited the conditions. We fell 10 short but made up with the ball. And there was no dew so made it fair for both teams.


"I think that run-out from the impact player (Mishra), and two wickets falling back to back gives the opposition (his own team) a chance. We know with Rajasthan their strength is their top four, so we needed to have our plans in place to get them out."

After this game, Lucknow's next encounter will be against Gujarat Titans at Ekana Stadium on 22nd April.
