IPL 2022: Dropping easy catches never helps, Rajat Patidar made the difference for RCB, says LSG skipper KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul blamed sloppy fielding for his team's 14-run defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL Eliminator while acknowledging Rajat Patidar's brilliant hundred being the difference between the two teams. The 28-year-old Indore man Patidar scored a 54-ball 112 not out to singlehandedly win the IPL Eliminator for RCB. "I think it's quite obvious - the reasons why we didn't win. We let ourselves down in the field. Dropping easy catches never helps. Difference was obviously Patidar playing such a knock. When someone in the top three scores a hundred, more often the team wins," Rahul said after the match.
