It is Hard Being on The Losing Side: KL Rahul

“It’s hard being on the losing side for so many games on the trot. We need to come back harder and better. There’s no rocket science where we are going wrong, it’s the execution”, said KL Rahul in the post-match conference.

Kings XI Punjab captain feels that it was important for them to take the wickets of Watson and du Plessis and they couldn’t do that, so it was a bit troublesome for them.

“When we started batting, the wicket did stop a bit and when the spinners came in there was some grip and turn. If we don’t get wickets of the class of Watson and du Plessis, we are in trouble.

They Are All Professional Players: KL Rahul

“It’s a bit hard to attack as a captain when they are going at 10 runs an over in the powerplay. They are all professional players, so we can expect them to come back better”, said KL Rahul.

“We need to keep training harder, practising and try to win the key moments in the game. Hopefully, we’ll be able to bounce back”, he added.

Kings XI Punjab will now face SunRisers Hyderabad on October 8 in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
