GUWAHATI: Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara said his team is happy with their unbeaten start but knows the challenge will only get tougher in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 as they prepare for an important match against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Barsapara Stadium on Friday.
“It’s nice to be in that position. You don’t really plan for it. It’s all to do with how well the team plays, and the team has been playing really well. They’ve been keeping things simple and trying to execute as well as possible. When you do that, results usually tend to go your way, ” he said in a video released by IPL on X.
However, the former Sri Lanka captain underlined the strong competitive nature of the tournament and said that no team can be taken lightly.
“But the beauty of the IPL is every game is a big game. There are no weak teams. There are no teams that you can take for granted or take lightly. That is the power of the competition, ” he added.
