However, at this level, we felt that just two or three confusing overs could change the course of the game. There was also an advantage for the spinners.”

Commentary on Rinku
While praising Rinku, Krunal said, “It has been a very special year for Rinku. When he’s in every game, you can’t take him lightly. Today he showed it again. However, it turned out to be a high pressure situation for them to execute their plans properly while bowling in the last over. I was talking to my bowlers after every ball. I asked them to implement their plans. But if the batsman is playing the shot, there is nothing we can do.”

‘Yash Thakur was confident’
On the decision to give Yash Thakur the 20th over, Krunal said, “I go with my gut feeling. There was some reverse swing in the previous match, so I went with Mohsin. Today I went with Yash. Because, the pitch was slow and he was confident after a few good overs.”

With this win, the Lucknow team has reached the eliminator match on May 24. Now it will be important to see which team they face in this match. (kkr vs lsg you cant take it easy skipper krunal pandya praised rinku singh batting gave reason for yash thakur 20th over)
