INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE | VIRAT KOHLI BECOMES FIRST INDIAN WITH 10 T20 TONS
MATCH TODAY – RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS AT 7:30 PM
New Delhi, May 18: Rajasthan Royals batting coach Vikram Rathour says his team can still qualify for the IPL play-offs by winning its remaining two league matches, asserting that the side has the ability to beat any opponent if it plays to its potential.
Placed sixth in the standings with 12 points, RR face Lucknow Super Giants at home on May 19 before travelling to take on Mumbai Indians in their final league fixture on May 24.
“We are planning to win every match. It’s not that we are waiting for the last two matches to win. Every game is important for us and we are trying to win,” Rathour said at the post-match press conference.
“The situation is that we have to win both the games. Our belief is that if we are playing to our potential, we can defeat any team. That is the mindset. We need to turn up and play our best cricket,” he said.
Rathour also provided an update on senior spin-all rounder Ravindra Jadeja, saying the team management had opted to rest him as a precaution because of a knee niggle.“He just had some niggle in his knee,” he said.(PTI)
