After electing to bat first in the match played in Chennai on Sunday, May 12, RR set a target of 142 runs for CSK. The host team chased the target with five wickets and 10 balls remaining and reached the third position in the points table. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra said that Rajasthan Royals His timid batting approach was not understandable.
Aakash Chopra gave a big statement on RR’s batting approach.
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.
