Kings XI Punjab skipper George Bailey rued making changes to the batting order, saying it played a part in their defeat against Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match, here tonight.
Punjab sent Wriddhiman Saha at number three and Axar Patel came to bat at number five ahead of David Miller.
"We could have taken a few opportunities, but I was happy at the half-way mark. A couple of run-outs hurt. We changed the batting order a bit and in hindsight that was not a good idea," Bailey said after their 26-run defeat.
The Australian though was happy with his bowlers.
"Pretty happy with the way we went with the ball," he said.
He appreciated the batting efforts of a few Rajasthan players.
"Steven Smith batted beautifully and James Faulkner batted well as well.
