Shreyas has now lost six straight tosses. Shreyas wouldn’t be grumbling, though, as KKR had risen to the top of the standings after defeating KL Rahul’s LSG by 98 runs on Sunday, May 5, at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. The KKR skipper after the match explained that the his teammates have been asking questions about his toss prowess, albeit jokingly.
