"It's becoming more and more clear that the team that hits more sixes wins the game"- LSG captain KL Rahul after loss vs RR in IPL 2024
At the post-match presentation, LSG skipper KL Rahul reflected on the reasons behind their dismal loss and said:
"I think we left about 20 runs behind. We obviously didn't get off to an ideal start but the partnership me and Hooda had - we're seeing with more games that are being played that the set batter needs his 50s and 60s into a hundred. They bowled really well in the last couple of overs. It's becoming more and more clear that the team that hits more sixes wins the game."
Rahul added:
"It's important for the batters to make sure they give the bowlers that extra cushion of runs. Not much chat about it but you see players training before the game and the ball keeps flying all over the place. Everyone does range hitting and it's a big part of your prep. We'll try and clear these boundaries as much as possible and get used to hitting big sixes. But I'll go back to the same point that we left about 20 runs out there.
GT and RCB will clash in the next match of IPL 2024 on Sunday afternoon at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
