"We were about 15 or 20 runs short"- LSG captain KL Rahul after loss against DC in IPL 2024 encounter
At the post-match presentation, LSG skipper KL Rahul reflected on the loss and said:
"I think, we were about 15 or 20 runs short, after that kind of start and we couldn't capitalise, 180 would've been a good score. There was help there, Kuldeep used that to his advantage and put the breaks on the batting group."
He added:
"We stayed in the game, fought till the end, McGurk, the new guy came in and unknown, we watched a lot of videos of him but he hit the ball really well, credit to him. We always walk in with the same kind of mindset, try to hit the right areas, try and execute well."
On their next match against KKR on Sunday, Rahul said:
"It's a quick turnaround, not really sure, travel, turn up and pick up two more points. In hindsight, you can wonder if you could've done something differently."
