🏏IPL 2025 Match 53: KKR vs RR at Eden Gardens @ 3.30 PM IST🏏 - Page 23

Pheww that was so close.. Feeling bad for RR.. Still vaibhav chodungi nahi tumhe

Vaibhav mil mat jana

Riyan Parag | RR captain: I was planning to stay till the last 2 overs, but unfortunately I got out in the 18th over. It was a miscalculation from my side. I think we could have found better options in the last 6 overs. Maybe other bowling options. No one to complain but ourselves, we should have finished it. We could have done something else in hindsight. He (Russell) was 2 off 10 balls and the way he accelerated after that, it was great to watch. It's a ground where sixes are hit. The wicket was a little tricky, so I had to pick my battles. I think I did it pretty well, until the time I got out. I have been telling that to myself, feels off to give an interview (as the losing captain.) We weren't clinical on the field and the consequences are here.

Rinku Singh: Everyone in India knows that this ground has the quickest outfield so we have to be very quick. I field outside the circle, so it's my responsibility there and I enjoy my fielding. Honestly, I enjoy fielding more than batting. [On KKR's last few overs] For a long time Russell hadn't been scoring, so it was a crucial knock for him. And when I came in, it was a good situation for me. We are taking it one game at a time and not thinking too far ahead.

Thanks to Rahane’s placing of fielder, we won. He swapped Rinku from long on to long off for last ball n rinku’s throw made them win. Vaibhav ne toh haradena tha humme but glad his yorker worked in last ball

Bowlers points Varun Chakravarthy???

Rinku Singh: It was important to save that (18.2) boundary. This is one of the quickest outfields India. It is my role to do well in the outfield, I like to take the responsibility. I enjoy my fielding, probably more than my batting. Russell scored some crucial runs, he hasn't been among the runs this season. I had to play in the last 2 overs, it was the perfect situation for me, the stage was set. Our team is playing well, we need to keep enjoying going forward. We are taking one game at a time, not thinking too much of future.
