"Just have to take it on the chin and move on"- KKR captain Shreyas Iyer on loss against RR in IPL 2024 contest

At the post-match presentation, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer reflected on the loss against RR and said:

"Emotions were a roller coaster. Certainly didn't think that this would be the situation we would get into. It's a funny game at the end of the day, he (Buttler) was striking so well and was batting on 60 at that point of time.

"Hard to explain what happened at that moment. Just have to take it on the chin and move on. At this point of time you see to it that you bowl your best deliveries and you have to nail all of them."

Iyer continued:

"A little miss here or there and you are sent out of the ground. It'll be a learning for them and I'm glad it happened today itself and not in the latter half of the tournament. It's important we learn from our mistakes and bounce back strong. We are extremely proud of how we delivered today. It was just a matter of two or three overs and they basically stood up to the moment."
