Speaking on the eve of Royals' match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Goswami claimed that the Wankhede ground staff were rolling a different wicket, “which we were told would be used for the match”.

However, he claimed before the game the strip was changed “without informing us”.

“Rahul bhai opted to bowl without knowing that a different surface would be used,” Goswami said.

The Royals lost the game by 27 runs as they were bowled out for 170 in 19.4 overs in reply to Mumbai’s 197 for six.u00a0
