KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir said the 52-run defeat was embarrassing, but they would bounce back. “We played very badly and it was an embarrassing batting performance from us. But we have a long way to go. We have the talent and we will come back in the tournament,” he said after the match on Saturday.
Asked about his side’s disappointing batting show, Gambhir said, “These things happen. Sometimes you can’t hold on to the momentum. One of us had to bat through. Had one of our top four got 70, we would have won the match,” he said.
