INDvsSL: We were five-six overs short of victory, says KL Rahul

By Saurabh Sharma November 20, 2017 • 21:21 PM View: 3603

Kolkata, Nov 20 (Cricketnmore): India opener KL Rahul rued the fact that India did not have five-six overs more, saying that would have helped them win the opening Test at the Eden Gardens here on Monday.

"We wanted to make a game out of this. We lost three wickets early in one spell of (Suranga) Lakmal so we had to play a little bit extra. (Virat) Kohli played a fabulous knock and that's what was expected of one batsman and he did it. Five or six overs and it would have been our way," Rahul told reporters at the end of day five's media interaction.
