IPL 2021: Kumar Sangakkara blames RR's failure to adapt after loss to MI, 'Fault in us than in Sharjah pitch'

IPL 2021: Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara said that while the toss and the Sharjah pitch, on which they were playing for the first time this season, may have had an effect, it is their inability to adapt that led to their heavy defeat against the Mumbai Indians.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) head coach Kumar Sangakkara has said that while the nature of the Sharjah pitch may have had an effect in their heavy defeat to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday, the fault lies more in their inability to adapt than on anything else.

Sangakkara was of the opinion that both bowlers and batsmen could have done better as RR's chances to make the play-offs took a major blow on Tuesday. The 2008 champions were restricted to 90/0 and MI chased down the target in just over eight overs.
