Shreyas Iyer was dejected that he couldn't bat till the end despite taking his team close with a 51-ball-85 as Rajasthan Royals won by seven runs in a high-scoring IPL thriller on Monday. KKR were all-out for 210 in reply to Royals' 217 for 5 but Iyer along with Australian white ball skipper Aaron Finch (58 off 28 balls) did make a match of it before things went downhill in the 17th over by Yuzvendra Chahal.
