Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne laments performance against KKR
Rajasthan Royals captain, Shane Warne, has labelled his team's batting display as childish and said that they played some "dumb" shots, which resulted in their embarrassing loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens on April 17, 2011.
Warne said that it was one of their worst performances. RR have lost consecutively to KKR in two matches. Rajasthan were bowled out for a meagre 81 runs by the KKR after being sent into bat. In reply, KKR chased down the target in 13.5 overs for the loss
of only 2 wickets.
Disappointed Warne said, “Our preparation has been fantastic. We all had a great practice. The feeling in the group has been fantastic from day one. I just don't know how we failed to put up a performance. That was pretty weak, that was soft, that was embarrassing”.
In the recently ended match between RR and KKR, Rajasthan Royals were restricted to just 81 runs by KKR, as none of their batsmen could stand on the wickets for a long time. This was the lowest total by any team in the ongoing League matches. KKR in turn
achieved the target just for the loss of two wickets enjoyed the victory by eight wickets and 32 balls.
