"We defended well and having a home advantage helps"- LSG captain KL Rahul after victory against GT in IPL 2024
At the post-match presentation, LSG skipper KL Rahul reflected on the win and said:
"We will take the win. For the young bowling group we have, it gives them an idea about the surface. It is a good record to have, but it is also about the conditions. We saw how the wickets here in Lucknow were last time. We defended well and having a home advantage helps. The bowlers have come through the ranks, they are reading the wickets well."
Rahul added:
"We knew that it wasn't a good wicket. We were not trying to think about the score we needed to put on, that's the advantage of batting first. If someone batted well in the middle and got a score of 70-80 runs, we were aiming at 170-180. We have to put on the score and expect the bowlers to do their job."
