I will play these kind of innings for the team.” Rana said, “Whatever role the team gives me according to the match situation, I will try to bat accordingly. Today I had to play on one end. “I am very happy with the way he (Rinku) batted because I have known him for five-six years and he has worked a lot on his game, he scores runs every domestic season.
The way he was batting, I knew he would do something big for our team when given a chance. Know he gets a little ‘hyper’ and I told him that if we both keep batting we can win the match in any over. I am very happy for him and hope that he continues to bat like this for KKR and for himself.” Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara regrets that his batsmen scored big during the team’s loss in the last two matches. fail to do. “In the last two matches, we were not able to put up enough scores. Against Mumbai Indians, we scored 130 with four overs left, should have scored 170. Today we didn’t play as expected in the middle overs. In both the matches, the bowlers tried their best to drag the match till the last over but a lot of improvement and a lot of thinking is needed before the next match.
