Chennai, Mar 31 (PTI) Bangalore Royal Challengers captain Anil Kumble today attributed his side's five wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League to the loss of momentum towards end of their batting, saying that it had made them 20 runs short of a challenging total.
"We had the momentum until the 13th or the 14th over, but then we lost it a little bit," Kumble said referring to Jacques Kallis' inability to force the pace of scoring at a crucial stage of the game.
"We were some 20 runs short, and that made it a little hard for us," said Kumble.
The former India captain said RCB were still well placed for a semifinal berth as seven more matches are left in the league stage.
"There still are seven matches to go. Four out of seven is not a bad start.
