LSG vs KKR IPL 2024 Match 54: What Captains Said

KL Rahul (LSG Captain): (on KKR runs and performance) "Lot of runs. Poor performance overall. It was a big total. It's a poor performance with both bat and ball. Narine in powerplay puts a lot of pressure. Our bowlers couldn't handle this pressure. That's how the IPL is. You will come against good players and that when you will be tested. It wasn't a bad pitch. 235 was 20-30 runs were above par. (on the batting) Our batting was poor. We prepare in advance, we talk about the opposition batters, trying to see what kind of plans we need to come up with. (on Narine Challenge) We need to execute it when we come here, but we didn't we make a couple of mistakes against Sunil and anyone who strikes well. (Aftermath) Once we go back to dressing room, we move on from this game and see where we went wrong. Last home game, we are on the road for the next few games, we need to be a little bit more fearless."

Shreyas Iyer (KKR Captain): (on losing Toss, but winning Matches) "The last six matches in the dressing room there has been havoc, people are coming in and asking skip what's happening, we are losing tosses, we are winning games. So we can make that sacrifice. (on the batting) We had a great start in the powerplay. A lefty-righty combination makes thing difficult for the opposition. It's all about the freedom, to go out and express themselves. (On assessing conditions) We want to go out and be positive whatever the situation is, sometimes it doesn't work out but sometimes it does. They have been splending for us, the way they are playing their shots is pure bliss. They are setting us up and giving is momentum and no matter what the situation is, we are playing with a positive mindset."
