IPL 2019 | Not really happy the way we played, says Ajinkya Rahane

Rajasthan Royals chased down the target of 188 with three balls to spare and four wickets in hand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. However, the team was in a commanding position at one point of the game but still, the match went down to the wire as the visitors kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Jos Butler was the top scorer for the Royals with 89 off just 43 balls. 

Rahane expressed his disappointment on the team losing its way during the last three overs of the run-chase.

“Feels good but not really happy the way we played. Should learn from the mistakes. 30 balls, 30 needed, should've won it easily,” Rahane said during the post-match presentation, reported Cricbuzz.

The Royals are still placed at the seventh position on the points table despite a win yesterday. The Jaipur-based franchise now has four points from seven games in the 12th edition of the league. Rahane mentioned during the presentation that now the team has to win almost all their remaining games. Speaking about his home ground, the Mumbai cricketer praised the Wankhede pitch as well during the presentation.

“No stress but games are going so close, especially in this IPL. We believed in Shreyas Gopal and KG. Jos was magnificent. Got to win almost every game now. It's about one game at a time. We were in a similar situation last year also.

“Personally enjoy playing at the Wankhede, really good wicket,” the Rajasthan skipper said.
