Rahul Dravid, head coach of Rajasthan Royals, vented his ire after his team suffered the eighth loss of the season against Punjab Kings on Sunday.

"There's no point just blaming the batsman. I think with the ball also, to be honest, I didn't think it was a 220 wicket, it was about a 195, 200 wicket, and we gave 20 runs extra,” said Dravid after the game.

“If we look at the numbers, we have probably not been good enough with the ball. Both at taking wickets and controlling runs. We are chasing 200-220 every game.”

Rahul Dravid Says RR Not Clicking As A Unit

"It's been a tough one. We've got close, but we haven't been able to finish the job. It's been one of those kind of seasons where you always feel with the ball that we probably give 15-20 runs extra and then you've got yourself in some really good positions to win the games, but we haven't been able to finish the job and a little bit around that lower, lower-middle order we just haven't been able to click and get the big shots that we need,” admitted Dravid.

"I mean, it's been five games now where the margins have really one or two hits which you need in that phase, which we just haven't been able to do,” said Dravid. “So it's not that we've been losing too many wickets, we're still only five down today, but we just haven't been able to hit those shots.”
