IPL 2023: "Threw Away Their Wickets" - Kumar Sangakkara's Blunt Verdict On RR Batters
Head coach Kumar Sangakkara feels Rajasthan Royals' batters threw away their wickets, adding that the IPL match was lost in the powerplay itself after of half the side was sent packing by Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Sunday. The Royals suffered a dramatic batting collapse to be bowled out for 59 -- the third lowest innings total in the IPL -- against RCB. Chasing a competitive 172-run target, the hosts lost five wickets for 25 runs in the powerplay to eventually lose by 112 runs. "It was a poor batting performance. We bowled well to keep them under 170, which on this pitch was going to be a good chase," Sangakkara said.
