Against left-arm spin, we had three-four right-handed batsmen and the ball was stopping, but we could have tried a little more options. Could have used reverse sweep or the crease a little more. But they also bowled well. The wicket started behaving differently in the second innings- Sanju Samson Samson further said, it is actually very difficult to predict. When can we expect dew in Chennai or not. In the second innings, the wicket started behaving differently. The ball started moving a bit.

Aakash Chopra said, “I could not understand this match. I will say this very honestly. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat. Since it was an afternoon game, it made sense to bat first. After that, you were 131/3 before the start of 20 overs. The fast bowlers took three wickets and the spinners did nothing.” The former Indian opener further said, “So I am trying to understand that if this pitch was slow, the batsmen should have dismissed the spinners. It did not happen. Simarjeet (Singh) took wickets and none of the batsmen scored runs. If you score 131 runs in 19 overs, what you did was completely beyond my understanding.” Chopra pointed out that Rajasthan Royals have not yet qualified for the playoffs, which seemed to be a formality even though they had won eight of their first nine matches. Considering that the champions of the inaugural season of IPL are still set to qualify, whether they believe they will be able to make it to the top 2 now is a big question.

Why was Trent Boult made to bowl only two overs?- Aakash Chopra Chopra said, “Why did Trent Boult bowl only two overs? I do not understand. Two overs, eight runs, and he bowled only two overs. Why? Keshav gave away 16 runs in his two overs, so only 24 runs were scored in those four overs. Trent Boult could have been given overs in the middle but you did not do that. Keshav Maharaj, who debuted for Royals, was given only two overs, in which he gave 16 runs. Chopra felt that Boult, who bowled two overs and conceded eight runs, should have been given a longer spell so that he could take advantage of the situation. The former opening batsman said, “If you are bowling dry ball, if you have scored enough runs, you have to have the bowling to defend it. The truth is that Rajasthan has bowling. They did not play Nandre Berger but despite this, they have bowling. In bowling, Keshav Maharaj made his debut and he made him bowl only two overs.” Praising Kuldeep Sen, Chopra said that both the young fast bowler and Avesh Khan were not that impressive in the final overs. former cricketer He further said, “I will praise Kuldeep Sen because he took three wickets in the beginning. However, in the end he succumbed to the pressure. Avesh Khan was also bowling a good over but then he gave a four.”
