Stand-in captain Rashid Khan acknowledged that the Titans lost crucial momentum during the middle overs while chasing a target of 211 runs. Despite a solid start, bolstered by opener Sai Sudharsan, the team stumbled after losing back-to-back wickets in the 12th and 13th overs, finishing at 204/8. Khan commended the bowlers for limiting Rajasthan to 210 runs, stating that the pitch was conducive to scoring. He emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and expressed confidence in regrouping for future matches as the competition continues.
