KL Rahul Backs Punjab Kings To Play Fearless Cricket
Punjab Kings may have lost their second game in the ongoing IPL. However, skipper KL Rahul wants his team to learn from their mistake against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and come back stronger in the series. Deepak Chahar picked up four wickets. Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali helped CSK register an easy victory over Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. Chahar had run through the top batting order of the Punjab Kings. Dismissing Mayank Agarwal and Nicholas Pooran for ducks before returning Chris Gayle and Deepak Hooda for 10 runs each.
There isn’t anything else to learn. If a team loses five wickets in the first seven or eight overs, it will still be caught up. They bowled well, we took some bad shots, that’s how the game goes. Rahul told the host broadcaster Star Sports events after the game. However, the pitch was even more sticky and cheesy than it seemed to be. Credit score to the CSK bowlers they bowled in the correct networks. Deepak with his knuckleball purchased a few wickets and having myself run out will not help the group. However, it is an excellent learning experience for us. Ideally, we can learn from our mistakes and return better in the subsequent game, Rahul continued.
Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson may have bowled well against CSK:
Punjab Kings scored more than 200 runs in their first match. But the Rahul-led side couldn’t even reach the 110-run mark against CSK on Friday. It is important that we learn from our mistakes, and this is the kind of community we need to be. We also need to go out there and play brave cricket, Rahul said. It’s T20 cricket; much of the time you’ll score big runs. But there will be one or two games in a season where you lose wickets like this. It is important that we take as sporty and go on to improve in the next game. Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson may have bowled well against CSK. But the two bowlers were costly in the Punjab Kings’ first game of the IPL 2021.
The primary game did not go well for these two Richardson and Meredith. However, it was their first game, and I’m sure they were a little anxious. That’s the conversation after the game, and that is how the IPL works. Their plans were straightforward, and they executed them very well. Moreover, Punjab Kings will face Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
