"I'm lost for words"- LSG captain KL Rahul after thumping loss against SRH in IPL 2024 contest
After the conclusion of the match, LSG skipper KL Rahul reflected on the dismal loss, saying:
"I'm lost for words. We've watched that kind of batting on TV while they batted for a few games. But this was unbelievable. I have no words to describe how they were hitting the ball. Kudos to the skill level and I'm sure all of them have worked really, really hard with their six-hitting ability and you can see that."
Rahul continued:
"They didn't even give a chance to see what the wicket was playing like in the second innings. I think the pitch didn't change too much. When you have two batters coming in with that kind of mindset and freedom and they tee off from ball one, it's very hard to stop them. The only way to stop them was to get wickets in the powerplay but if you don't, it's very hard."
