Rajasthan Royals In IPL 2026“I think it’s hard to explain. Like it’s definitely our batting letting us down, but at the same time, we’re disappointed as a team, as a group, but at the same time, you’ve got to find ways.
“Look, definitely we could have taken some time off the bat and also, you know, not making any excuses out there, like, you know, getting ourselves into it, like we could have taken it a little bit deeper because I think the bowlers did a fantastic job, especially after the last match. As a batting group, we need to put our hands up and try to finish the job for the bowlers as well. “There’s still a lot we want to look at on the positive side, you know. We all know it’s frustrating for us as a team, but you know, we’ve got to keep our heads up and find answers within and we certainly know we’ve got a lot of power in our bowling and batting and we can still turn it around. I believe that.”Pant’s comments came after another top-order failure as LSG slumped to 119 chasing 160.
