LSG vs KKR

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul feels that his team could have ended on the losing side during the thrilling clash against Kolkata Knight Riders.

"For Stoinis to execute those plans in the last two balls to get us the win, was brilliant. The minute we went away from the plans was when it became easier for the batters. Good way to finish the last game of the league season. The only talk during timeouts was to back your best balls. Haven't been many games that have gone down to the last ball, maybe some which went to the last over. Could easily have been on the losing side and have gone back home thinking we lost due to some poor cricket.
