“He’s in a positive mindset. We want him to take wickets for us. The other night he started well. His mindset is very positive, he is a wicket-taker for us.”
“On the night, someone’s not going to perform [as well] but I felt the other night he was on song for us, he started well. He hit the intensity, and I won’t be worried about him,” said Charl Langeveldt.
“Winning at home is very crucial in terms of reaching the next stage of qualification and I think we’ve done that relatively well. There’s still a lot more cricket to go… But also, having said that, winning at home you also still need to make sure you get the results on the road.”
“But I think with the quick turnarounds and stuff, it’s just about being mentally fresh and recovered and doing your analysis work. I think the beauty of it is the amount of local talent that we have within our squad and being exposed to various conditions.”
“Hopefully we can rely on that knowledge and combat teams in their home conditions,” said Keshav Maharaj.
Despite their defeat against Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals tops the points table while Punjab Kings secured 8th position in the IPL 2024 points table.
