"It was a good game today"- LSG captain KL Rahul after win against MI in their final league match of IPL 2024
After the conclusion of the match, LSG skipper KL Rahul reflected on his team's performance in the season, saying:
"Very disappointing, at the beginning of the season I felt we had a strong team and all bases covered. A couple of injuries at the start, that always happens but those really hampered us. We did not come together as bowlers and batters earlier, it was a good game today."
He continued:
"We would have liked to play these games more where the batters score runs, the bowlers take wickets. Credit to the franchise for investing in fast bowlers, we sent Yudhvir and Mayank to South Africa to train with Morne (Morkel). Mohsin was injured too, the franchise took great care of the fast bowlers."
