The defending champions suffered an eight-wicket loss against MI on Monday night. Ramandeep's quickfire knock of 22 off 12 alongside Angkrish Raghuvanshi\u2019s 26 runs and Andre Russell\u2019s twin strikes were the key highlights for KKR as the hosts MI chased down the target of 117.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Not shying away from the loss, KKR all-rounder Ramandeep Singh shared his honest assessment in the post-match press conference. He said, \u201cAny team can collapse, regardless of the situation. Obviously, that gives the lower order an opportunity, but we were unlucky tonight. We\u2019ll do our best to make sure we don\u2019t find ourselves in a similar situation going ahead in the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also shed some light on backing the team\u2019s aggressive approach with the bat, while emphasising that they can take learnings from this performance. \u201cWe back every player in the team to follow their natural instincts. Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t work out, but it is important for us to back our players so they can give their hundred per cent and play to their attacking instincts.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe understand that partnerships are very important, but had the attacking approach paid off for Angkrish and Rinku, we would be crediting them for their performance. Sometimes it\u2019s not your day. There are always learnings from every game\u201d, Ramandeep added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium, Ramandeep reckoned that the toss played a significant factor in the outcome. He mentioned, \u201cIt was a good toss to win for MI. They did have an advantage because even in the second innings, the new ball was seaming, and the spinners were getting some turn. So, there was something there for the bowlers. However, we can\u2019t use that as an excuse. We have to be ready for every situation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The wicket today was such that you had to settle in before looking to hit sixes. Generally, that\u2019s not the case, but today was a little different,\" he concluded. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
