Rajasthan Royals put on a dismal performance against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), being all-out for 59 runs while chasing 172. The setback has harmed the Royals’ hopes of making the playoffs, and they will need to win their last league game to remain in contention.
Rajasthan coach Kumar Sangakkara, on the other hand, gave a motivating address to his players in the dressing room following the game. The coach advised his players to put the first encounter behind them and focus entirely on the second. The video of his statement was also published by the Royals’ official Twitter handle.
“We have one more game.” No amount of talking, saying, or doing will fix any of our problems; we must take action. Right? Regardless of what happens in other games, we have one more game to play and win. So that’s all I want you to think about. Take notes. Just keep going. Are you sure? “I can see the anguish and disappointment,” Sangakkara remarked in the video. Take a peek at it here:
RCB were quite slow in the opening stages of the match, as the Royals did some excellent bowling to keep both Virat and Faf in check early on. Maxwell and Faf moved the batting ahead after Virat was out for a 19-ball 18, and both batsmen hit half-centuries. However, Adam Zampa’s double-wicket 16th over changed the game in RR’s favor, as they restricted RCB to a modest 171/5 in 20 overs.
The top Royals batsman, Yashasvi Jaiswal, though, was out for a duck in the opening over of the chase. With Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson both out in the next over, RR’s chase was stalled, and he was never able to recover. Shimron Hetmyer scored 35 off 19 balls as the Royals were eventually eliminated for 59 runs in 10.3 overs.
