On Monday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, the Punjab Kings suffered a five-wicket defeat in a one-sided match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul’s pain was felt after the loss in this match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and he said that he could not understand what to say after this defeat. Punjab Kings team was able to score 123 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs, in response, KKR scored 126 runs for five wickets in 16.4 overs.
After the match, Rahul said, ‘Losing is never easy. Can’t understand what to say. We should have adapted to the new pitch better. We could have done better with the bat. I hope that the players will perform better than this. Some soft dissimilarity increased our difficulties. We have to forget this defeat and keep our heads high and keep trying. ‘
He added, ‘Ravi Bishnoi’s catch was fantastic, when you have a coach like Jonty Rhodes, the fielding of the players is better. They take our difficult test and see how the boys are reacting. I hope that we will move forward together and get better. ‘
