“I didn’t see it.” KL Rahul says
“I didn’t see it (the ball that got him from Boult), but if I had, I could have stopped it. I’m afraid I’ll have to give it to him. It was a nice ball. We have a strong team and plenty of bat and ball options. We knew we had a chance even when we were 20-odd for three. Obviously, we needed one good partnership today, but we never got it going “, he explained.
Chasing the target, LSG could only manage 162 for eight in 20 overs, with Rajasthan’s Yuzvendra Chahal taking four wickets.
Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten 59-run knock off 36 balls initially helped RR post a total of 165 for six in 20 overs.
Rahul was also dismissed for a golden duck for the second time this season in this match. He has 132 runs and a high score of 68 in five games.
