IPL 2021: ‘Fault lies more with us, than just pitch or toss,’ says RR’s Kumar Sangakkara after heavy defeat to MI

Firstpost  

Put into bat, Rajasthan could manage only 90 for nine, which Mumbai chased down in just 8.2 overs, with young Ishan Kishan blazing his way to an unbeaten 50. Jimmy Neesham and Nathan Coulter-Nile bowled exceptionally well to keep Mumbai Indians’ prospects alive as they outclassed Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets in a low-scoring match on Tuesday night. Asked whether toss was a big factor, Sangakkara said, “Well, you could probably say that, we haven’t played here at Sharjah before and watching the other games, it seems to be slightly better in the night and there was probably little bit more pace.” “But once you have only 90 on the wicket, it was really tough unless you had this amazing power-play with wickets and very few runs. “The crucial part for us was, we were 42/1 after the power-play and the plan was to extend it beyond the 13th/14th over, with at least seven wickets in hand, so that we could really target a bowler or two and build a platform beyond the 15th over.” He added, “Unfortunately, we didn’t adapt, Mumbai bowled very well and we lost too many wickets, so we could never attack at any stage. So probably, the fault lies more with us, than just the pitch or the toss.” Put into bat, Rajasthan could manage only 90 for nine, which Mumbai chased down in just 8.2 overs, with young Ishan Kishan blazing his way to an unbeaten 50.
