Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid today lauded his team for their "professionalism" and described the nine-wicket victory over Perth Scorchers in a Group A match of the Champions League Twenty20 as a "clinical" performance.
"It's nice to win and play well. It was a really good and clinical performance today. We can always improve and we can keep getting better, we also take a lot of satisfaction from the match today," said Dravid after the match.
The Royals didn't put a foot wrong in the match today as they first dismissed the Scorchers for 120 and then returned to overhaul the target with 3.3 overs to spare.
"Our bowlers pulled it back brilliantly today, like Jimmy, Coops and a lot of professionalism from Samson and Rahane who batted very well," Dravid said.
"Our next game is a big one and Otago is playing very good cricket, they are the team in form."
Ajinkya Rahane, who was the top-scorer for Rajasthan, said: "It was a really nice pitch, good for bowlers and batsmen. This wicket was not fast compared to what we played against Mumbai Indians but the ball was doing a bit and holding its line.
"It was slightly tough initially but was easier later to bat on. I enjoy batting with Sanju, we were just talking about positive cricket while batting. We just need to concentrate on the next game and stay positive.
