Uthappa said RR has been peaking at the right time after beating KXIP by 7 wickets.
Rajasthan Royals’ batsman Robin Uthappa said the “team motto” was to win the game in any situation since they have got “nothing to lose” and sticking with it, they ended on the right side against King XI Punjab (KXIP) in their latest IPL 2020 contest in Abu Dhabi on Friday (October 30).
Uthappa also believes that RR has been peaking at the right time and found the right team combination after they crushed KXIP by 7-wicket in a crucial encounter on Friday.
Chasing a massive target of 186, Ben Stokes (50 off 26 balls) and Uthappa (30) provided the flying start for the RR and eventually managed to seal a comfortable win over KXIP in Abu Dhabi to keep their playoffs alive in the ongoing IPL 2020 in the UAE.
Uthappa said after the game, “Much needed win, we've been peaking at the right time. We have found the right combination as well. It was still holding just a touch. It's been inconsistent. The team motto is that we can win from anywhere in any situation.”
He further added, “From one perspective if you see we got nothing to lose, so just go for it. At the same time, we got to be cognizant about taking just one game at a time. Just don't worry about having a perfect game, give your best and you should be on the right side most times.”
Noteworthy, RR is now moved to fifth place from 7th on the IPL 2020 points table after defeating KXIP in the points table and will next lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday with an aim to qualify for the IPL 13 playoffs.
