Nagpur, April 13: The 152 target set by Deccan Chargers was achievable but we let the match get out of our hands by our own mistakes, a visibly disappointed Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Anil Kumble said today.
Deccan Chargers defeated Royal Challengers by 13 runs in a must-win Indian Premier League match here after posting a modest 151 for six on the board and Kumble said his side lost the plot after Rahul Dravid’s dismissal.
“The 150 score was getable. We let them bowl well to us on quite a few occasions. I am very disappointed,” he said after the match.
“You can’t expect Robin (Uthappa) to win every match.
Rahul (Dravid) gave us the initial impetus but after that our innings fell apart,” he said.
Kumble also praised Dale Steyn, who returned with figures of three for 18, for producing a fiery opening spell.
