What did KL Rahul say after winning the match?

After winning the match against Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul said during the post match presentation,

“We still had a lot of batting left. KP (Krunal Pandya) and Pooran (Nicholas Pooran) are experienced batsmen. The pitch was a bit dry, but still, if they (Mumbai Indians) had scored 160, it would have been a competitive match. The team coming here (at Ekana Stadium) takes time to adjust to the wicket.”

“Our bowlers put pressure on them and the batsmen achieved the target easily. You are always happy if you win the match and get two points. “But we still need to get some things right and hopefully we can finally start to find our rhythm.”

KL Rahul gave update on Mayank Yadav's fitness

Regarding Mayank Yadav, KL Rahul said, “I have not talked to him yet. There was a slight pain in his arm and after bowling the first ball he said that there was a little pain. I thought there was no need to take risks, he is still a young boy. They just don't have the speed. In today's match, he showed that apart from bowling at a speed of 150, he also has a lot of skills. The more he plays, the more he will learn what to do when. For now, we have given him complete freedom to enjoy and bowl whatever he wants.”

Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first. The innings did not start well for Mumbai.
