I SHOULD PROBABLY GET PAID MORE FOR GAMES LIKE THIS: KL RAHUL'S INTERESTING COMMENT!

Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants clashed in the 66th league match of the IPL yesterday. Batting first, Lucknow scored 210 in 20 overs. De Kock top-scored with 140 and KL Rahul with 68.

Batting next, Kolkata scored only 208 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. So Lucknow team won the thrill by 2 runs. Lucknow are the second team to qualify for the play - offs by winning the tournament.

Speaking after the match, Lucknow captain KL Rahul said, "I have to be paid more for matches like this. We had lost matches like this for the first time this season. Fewer matches go by until the last ball. Some matches have gone to the last over, but if there is a thrill till the last ball, this is the match, "he said with a smile.

KL Rahul continued, ‘I am happy to have won. We played bad cricket in the middle so we could have easily failed and gone with depression. It is gratifying to see this model finish the last league match of the season. Mosin Khan is throwing uniquely for us this season. He uses his talents skillfully and intelligently. I think he will feature in the Indian team soon. The Indian team always has room for left-arm fast bowlers.

Both teams played better. We could not say we were not tense because we needed 3 off 2 balls. Marcus Stones bowled brilliantly in the last over. I am happy to have advanced to the next stage of the IPL series. Such victories will strengthen the team and build confidence, ”said KL Rahul.
