IPL 2022, LSG vs RCB: KL Rahul, the Lucknow Super Giants skipper, said his bowlers should not have allowed Royal Challengers Bangalore to run away to a good start in the powerplay after taking early wickets. RCB won by 18 runs on Tuesday to move to No.2 in the points table.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said his bowlers should have done better after an 18-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.
Dushmantha Chameera had rocked RCB with the wickets of Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli off successive deliveries in the first over of the innings but Faf du Plessis hit 96 and led a sensational counterattack to take his team to a winning position.

RCB had also lost Glenn Maxwell who smashed 23 off 11 but still managed to reach 47 for 3 at the end of the powerplay.
"I think we started really well after getting two wickets in the first over, to give away 50 in the Powerplay, we should have done better," KL Rahul told STAR Sports after the match.
"180 on that pitch was 15 or 20 runs extra that we gave away. The pitch was sticky. We got the early breakthroughs we were looking for but we couldn't squeeze in the middle. We needed one big partnership... we saw what Faf did for RCB.
