RR vs LSG: “Clearly Doing Something Wrong As Captain” - KL Rahul’s Hilarious Take On Suffering A Blow To Elbow From Teammate’s Throw

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul talked about his side’s win in the 26th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 against Rajasthan Royals (RR). He also gave an injury update about his elbow and also termed Sanju Samson’s run out as the turning point of the game.

Lucknow Super Giants outclassed Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs to win their fourth game of the season. The KL Rahul-led side displayed a staggering bowling effort and defended just 155 runs to make a comeback after a narrow defeat against Punjab Kings in the last game.

KL Rahul, who was hit on the elbow while fielding, hilariously said that he is doing something wrong as a skipper that’s why he got a blow. He also spoke about the conditions, saying that after playing a few overs they felt that it was a 160 pitch. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he said:

“I got hit by one of the throws from my teammates, so clearly doing something wrong as captain. In the 10 over mark, the message me and Kyle sent out was 160 would be a good total on this track, they have some good bowlers as well who exploited the conditions.

“We fell 10 short but made up with the ball. And there was no dew so made it fair for both teams. We came in here yesterday and saw 180 would be a par score, but after the first over from Boult itself me and Kyle had a chat and realised this isn’t a 180 wicket.”

RR vs LSG: “I think that run-out from the impact player,” KL Rahul terms the wicket of Sanju Samson as the turning point of the game

RR was going great guns while chasing the target. But they lost wickets in clusters and one among them was the wicket of skipper Sanju Samson. The keeper-batter had a miscommunication with Jos Buttler that saw him back in the hut for just 2 runs.

KL Rahul called it a terming point of the game and said that with the kind of firepower RR have, they needed to execute their plans well. He added:

“The ball was keeping a bit low, so we gave ourselves time in the powerplay. Maybe if we played a bit better, we might have got 170 as well. I think that run-out from the impact player, and two wickets falling back to back gives the opposition a chance and lets them come back into the game. We know with Rajasthan their strength is their top four, so we needed to have our plans in place to get them out early.”

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be next seen in action when they will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) on Saturday (22nd April).
