Reasons why Rajasthan Royals Lost to Kkr: Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Rajasthan Royals 1 in the last ball. For RR, Ryan Parag scored 95 runs while batting strongly, but could not even win his team. Let us tell you that RR has already been out of the playoff race, but KKR has retained the expectations of his playoffs with the help of close victory. Know here about those 3 reasons how Rajasthan lost the game.
1. Shubham Dubey’s poor strike rate
Shimron Hetmyer was dismissed for 29 runs in the 16th over. Shubham Dubey came to bat when Rajasthan had to score 44 runs to win 25 balls. The target was not very difficult but Shubham Dubey scored only 8 runs in his first 10 balls. If Dubey had been playing a strike rate of about 150 instead of 80, the match would not have been stuck for Rajasthan. However, in the last 4 balls of his innings, he scored 16 runs, which could not work for his team.
2. Sunil Naren had to honor heavily
Till the 16th over, Ryan Parag was batting in a fierce fierce bowlers by batting in a fierce manner. Parag had scored 92 off 41 balls by the 16th over, but he was overwhelmed to honor Sunil Naren in the 17th over of the innings. While Rajasthan had to score 43 runs to win in the last 4 overs, meanwhile Sunil Naren had only 5 runs in the over, causing the target of 38 runs in 3 overs. Had 10 or more runs in this over, winning could have been easier for RR.
3. 85 runs looted in death overs
A major reason for the defeat of Rajasthan Royals was poor bowling in the death overs. KKR scored only 121 runs in 15 overs during batting and it seemed almost impossible to score 200 runs. In the last 5 overs, Rajasthan bowlers had robbed 85 runs. Not a single out of the last 5 overs in which KKR has scored less than 10 runs.
