Rajasthan Royals spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule conceded that losing two close matches on the trot has been hard on the team, but asserted that there is no sense of "panic" in the camp. The Royals went down to Lucknow Super Giants by two runs on Saturday night, having also lost their previous game to Delhi Capitals in a Super Over. With just two wins from eight outings, Rajasthan find themselves languishing in eighth place on the points table. "We've been playing good cricket. It's just that the result has not gone our way. In the dugout, there's a lot of calmness with Rahul (Dravid) being there. Everybody has played enough cricket in that dugout to know that one should not panic," Bahutule said in the post-match press meet. "But unfortunately, losing by two runs this game and the previous game with the Super Over, it's been hard on us, but that's the way the game goes. T20 is a format where a lot of risk is involved," he added. Bahutule said they have been trying to minimize

The stylish Devdutt Padikkal blossomed under the able guidance of peerless Virat Kohli as Royal Challengers Bengaluru exacted a sweet revenge on Punjab Kings keeping their all-away-win record intact with an easy seven-wicket victory in an IPL match here on Sunday. Having lost the rain-curtailed home match to Punjab Kings on Friday, RCB turned the tables within less than 48 hours, chasing down a target of 158 without much ado in just 18.5 overs to enter the top four in the points table. Southpaw Padikkal (61 off 35 balls), who is an effortless elegance when on song, scored his first IPL half-century in 22 innings while chases like these have been a cakewalk for someone of Kohli's caliber as he played second fiddle for the better part of his innings. He finished with a flourish, remaining unbeaten on 73 off 54 balls. The duo added 103 in 11.3 overs by playing textbook cricketing strokes with minimal risk. It was Kohli, who started off with a signature pull off Arshdeep Singh where th

Pacer Avesh Khan held his nerve in the death overs to help Lucknow Super Giants pull off a thrilling two-run win over Rajasthan Royals with a tight three-wicket spell in their IPL match here on Saturday. The Royals were cruising at 156 for 2 at the end of the 17th over, needing 25 runs from three overs with eight wickets in hand. But, Khan conceded five runs in the 18th over and took two wickets -- Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal -- before defending nine runs off the final over. In a tense final over, Khan dismissed Shimron Hetmyer (12) and conceded just six runs to hand LSG a memorable victory as RR ended at 178 for 5 in 20 overs, while chasing 181 for a win. It was heartbreak for the Royals, who lost from a dominant position to slump to their fourth straight loss -- and sixth defeat in eight matches. In the run chase, Jaiswal (74 off 52 balls) continued his roaring form with an entertaining fifty, while 14-year-old IPL's youngest player Vaibhav Suryavanshi (34 off 20 balls) made
