Shreyas said in defeat that Starks did not know where to bowl in front of Butler
Jos Buttler wins Rajasthan Royals with a single shoulder. Kolkata Knight Riders had to lose by 223 runs. Shreyas Iyer praised Buttler after losing the match.
Shreyas Iyer was not too sad after losing the match. On the contrary, he wants to learn from this loss and move forward. According to Shreyas, this rate is also good at the beginning of the competition. The problem would have been more if he had lost the latter. Shreyas praised Jos Buttler after losing to Rajasthan. KKR bowlers did not know where to bowl in front of the Rajasthan batsmen.
Shreyas said after the match, “Buttler was playing very good shots. All looked between the bats. If someone is hitting like that, the bowlers don’t know where to hit the ball. That’s what happened to us. I gave the ball to Varun Chakraborty in the last over. I thought if something happened if the speed of the ball was low. But Buttler couldn’t win in the form he was in.”
The KKR captain wants to learn from this loss and move forward. He said, “We didn’t think we would lose the match. This rate is a lesson for us. We have to understand exactly where to hit the ball in difficult situations. I could not do that in this match. It is not easy to bowl in this field. It is easy for batters to play big shots. Butler has done just that.”
Even though the team lost, Shreyas praised Sunil Narine. Narine scored a century by batting first. About the cricketer of the team, he said, “Narain is the asset of our team. He takes advantage of the opportunities he gets. It has been shown in this match as well. I am happy that he plays in our team.”
KKR had to play two matches in three days. Shreyas said that the cricketers are tired in this summer. Kolkata’s next match is next Sunday. The opponent is Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Knight captain said that he will aim to win that match.
