Lucknow Super Giants claimed the top spot in the Indian Premier League with an emphatic 75-run victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday but skipper K.L. Rahul said there was still much to improve for the new franchise.

"Played really well, started well with the bat... it was a tricky wicket. Knew it was going to be slow and sticky, so had to get around 150-160," said Rahul, adding that they could execute their plans better. Kolkata have now lost four of their last five games and head coach Brendon McCullum rued a limp batting display that was marked by their failure to get going in the powerplay.

"We struggled in the powerplay which has been a frustration for us throughout the season. We've been good throughout the middle phase and not too bad at the death, but in the powerplay, we've been a little unstuck."
