"Chahal has a lot of international experience. He is the most experienced leg-spinner in the country and in this tournament. Every bowling unit has 2-3 wicket-taking options and leg-spinners have more wicket-taking options. Today, Chahal showed how he can take wickets and change the game within a single over. That is the most important thing. He showed that all leg-spinners are match-winners in this competition," stated the legendary pacer in a post-match press convention.

"He has not got much time on the wicket since he has played only five to ten balls in his previous games. I feel he will deliver for us in the next match. It also means that our top order is doing well, that is why he is not getting many opportunities to play his game," added the RR bowling coach.

The Assamese batter has had a really boring IPL 2023 up to now, managing solely 48 runs in 5 innings. Malinga stated that in his stint as a bowling coach with RR, he had bought an opportunity to work with younger cricketers, particularly younger quick bowlers and he needs to maintain working with them in areas like yorkers and gradual balls.

"I want to give them a clear idea of what the team expects from them. Like if I am a bowler, sometimes we are supposed to adapt to the team plan. We need to bowl for six overs, at the end of innings as well. We have to develop our skills too since there are only two types of batsmen, right-handed and left-handed. We should not think too much and just stick to our plans. We need to develop our wicket-taking options, stock balls and a good line and length. I can share all my experiences with them of my last 12 years with Mumbai Indians and in International Cricket," he added.

Coming to the match, RR posted 217/5, the best whole of the continuing IPL season, because of the heroics of Jos Butler, who scored 103, his second hundred of the season. His efforts had been properly supported by Devdutt Paddikal (24), Sanju Samson (38) and Shimron Hetmyer (26*). Aaron Finch (58) and Shreyas Iyer (85) stored KKR in competition all through the match, however a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul by Chahal meant that Knight Riders had been bundled out for 210, painfully in need of a victory by seven runs.

This is Rajasthan Royals' fourth win of the season in six matches taking them to the second spot within the factors desk. They will now tackle Delhi Capitals of their subsequent match on Friday in Pune. On the opposite hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are at the moment on the sixth spot within the factors desk and can tackle Gujarat Titans on April 23.
