Royals Royals Review of mid-season: how far are the men of Sanju Samson of the playoffs posed? | Cricket news

New Delhi: Since the announcement of retention, Rajasthan Royals (RR) has become a hot discussion subject – but for all bad reasons.
Almost everyone was surprised when they dropped players like Jos Buttler, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal, while choosing to keep Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag.

Now, after seven games, the Royals find themselves in the lower half of the table. So how has their campaign went so far?

Jofra Archer experienced a nightmare start for the season, conceding 76 points in his 4 Overs against SRH. It was the most expensive fate in the history of the IPL because he went without a counter during his first two games.
But since then, Archer has looked closely at his best. He is brilliantly in the PowerPlay and was one of RR’s rare light points in recent matches.
Failed
Beyond the archer, the bowling range has looked everywhere.
Tushar Deshpande fled races, and the Sri-Lankan spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanidu Rasaanga did not get closer to the success of the success that Chahal and Ashwin brought to the team.
Quiz: Who is this IPL player?
In the Department of Strikers, the inconsistency tormented the first order.
Openers Jaiswal and Samson scored 233 and 224 points respectively in 7 games.
While Jaiswal succeeded three fifty, Samson had trouble converting his starts, with the exception of a strong blow in the opening of the season.

Riyan Parag, who was to rely on his form of last season, did not deliver, and Jurel was not up to expectations either.
Prediction of the playoffs
To qualify realistically for the playoffs, the Royals should win six of their seven remaining games – a high task.
Although this is not impossible, the chances of such a turnaround are slim. In the current state of things, RR would need something close to a miracle to stay alive in the race for a place of qualifying series.
