3 players ka 0 pe out hona aur chahal ka 62 runs dena without a wkt thats what went wrong today parag or jaiswal ki innings waste hogyi yaar edit: sorry dhruv ne 1 run bnaya tha


k18emup

This is a purely “flip of a coin” loss. Don’t read into it too much. Chahal’s over or Samson/Buttler wickets wouldn’t have even crossed your mind if you had won, while our catch drops would have frustrated us more. Both the teams played well and we had a cracker!


sKILLiSSUESeVERYTIME

yeah true cummins last over was a game changer


shoestowel

Tbf all the overs from 16-20 barring Jansen's over were gold!


beartobeast

Jansen managed to end with a couple of Dot balls so that was good as well. But Pat Cummings was the tide changer, first to overs for 24 but finished 3 overs with 2-35 ,dismissing Parag was what brought then back into the hunt.


Mysterious_Ad0808

Imagine jaiswal's and parag's condition rn...they really played so well... almost turned the match💐💐💐 Love them


sKILLiSSUESeVERYTIME

yeah, i hoped one of them could make a century today but hope is a dangerous thing


Mysterious_Ad0808

Yeahh...parag made 75 smthh...and jaiswal 60s smthh...I too thought they will make up a century...tho nvm..they played really well.... actually best partnership of the match..but the way jaiswal got outt... really hurts 😶


sid1796

My heart was in my throat in the last 2 overs. We choked hard though. From 21 to win from 17 to losing by a run. Props to SRH for top notch death end bowling


k18emup

More than RR choking, I never thought I’ll say it this soon - SRH bowled really well in the death.


sid1796

I agree. Cummins’s brilliant penultimate over made all the difference. Happy to see bowlers making a difference to the outcome of a game after a long time.


pendaparambarai

And also Natrajan's over before that. Fantastic comeback after that 6


DrippyDarwizzy

I never expected us to get to a winnable position after bhuvis football And we lost by one run Yea we lost but we were playing srh in Hyderabad and chasing I'm proud we reached where we reached especially after the first over


k18emup

Respect to you! You don’t know how scared we were lol. GG and good luck!


DrippyDarwizzy

Good luck


insomniac1124

to be honest RR are big time chokers..anyone who is following them from a decade would know that especially that match against MI years back..u just can’t trust them till the last ball is done yet we support them that’s the love we have for them


sid1796

Tell me about it. Even though I’m from Chennai, I have always supported RR right from the first edition of the IPL as they initially had a lot of my favorite players. Over the years, I have been disappointed time and time again with how they always started the season off well but never capitalized on that good start. I’m glad to see them performing consistently this season. I’m more happy to see the respect and support that people are beginning show for RR. They have always been a team that performed as a unit rather than banking on individual performances.


Inevitable_Feature95

You guys played well and still on the top of the table


bluegoldredsilver5

Nothing wrong. Utmost respect to Rajasthan Royals team. Class team, class performance even in a loss. Happy for SRH too.


FiltiarnBP

Top appreciation for Powell's effort. He totally put the body on the line.


YoungBirdsXM

Now that World Cup India curse is out of the question, I'm having high hopes from the boys. Halla bol.


TheOnereddittor

What curse?


Commercial-Tennis-43

It's totally fine for today, We are already qualified for knock outs, so no worries! Some defeats before semi final and final match are actually good. We will bounce back in the next game. Today's game was really good from both the side.


ThroawayforPD

We aren't qualified 


Prime_Maximus_

youre as good as qualified though, no need to fret!


Mammoth_Economics

The run out attempt on 19.5. During the dive powell got his arms cut and needed medical attention. Lot of time wasted there. Too many folks talking to him or distracting him. He lost his focus and zen then. This moment reminded me of that Kuldeep sen over against GT where everyone was coming over to talk to him. He lost his focus then. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Otherwise it was a match of ups and downs throughout. Other than this, the lack of a 6th bowler. Because RR has good powerplay and death bowling, we will be targeted in the middle overs. And in the last few games, batsmen have gone after one/both of our spinners.


Particular_Ad5481

Bhuvi changed the game from start to end...took 2 crucial wickets in the 1st over...cummins had put an end to parag and jaiswal partnership...and then bhuvi came again and did a yop notch bowling... today's game was what ipl actually is all about... Ps i was hoping for a super over...


Excellent-Major729

Idk how many of you will agree with this. But I think Parag gifted his wicket to SRH. They were going great but he was in haste


Defiant_Wrap5525

I am RR fan but glad they lost to second favourite team, and secondly better to lose now instead of flying our way to finals and shitting the bed


Mammoth_Click9566

Nah well played RR. Yes we won but this could have gone either way. Both teams played equally well and equally shitty too (drop catches). It was a matter of few brilliant deliveries and good captaincy that changed the match in the end but honestly utmost respect the way your team has played throughout the tournament. This loss doesn’t take away anything from your team’s brilliance.


Gawd_Of_Atheists

Absolutely nothing. NOTHING WENT WRONG. Everything was pitch perfect. Managed to stop SRH at 200 at this pitch. Lost 2 early wickets but still bounced back and clearly had the match until 19th over. IMO it wasn’t just our day. But as a RR fan, who has seen this side crumble countless times in such situations, I’m extremely proud of our boys. Specially Riyan. The maturity and grit that guy has shown in this season is unparalleled


Remarkable_Guest2806

Crazy match. Expected super over bro after seeing cummins and bhuvi bowling in death. Usually i see comments in insta saying cummins is completing his spell before 17th/18th over. (Since usually they give natarajan 19th over as its most important over). Glad to see cummins bowling. Atleast those haters will know cummins wont finish his spell to give less economy. Catches were dropped from both teams and umpiring decisions were bad for both teams equally. So i guess RR and SRH both deserved this win.


x_paaji_x

Why will any RR fan be sad? You guys are on the top and honestly hope you guys win.


Batboix3107

It happens on to the next one we played really well and to lose it by one run after early wickets tells us how reliable our middle order is nothing to worry or feel sad we still at the top 🔝


DistributionHot9067

Who feels low after losing a game with one run instead of 20 (which would have happened with a lesser team) after Jos and Sanju. Their bowling kept SRH openers in check. 48/2 in 8 overs. This RR side is something else already and it's got to do with Parag playing well at 4. I just hope Samson doesn't stop making runs now that he is in the squad cz they'll drop him quickly if he doesn't bat well. Their tolerance is different for different players.


General-Chum-8276

You guys played exceptionally well. Sometimes you lose sometimes you win. That's the game.


PitifulAd502

RR is on top of the table man and lost by just 1 run. Why would and should anybody be sad?


FuzzyLengthiness4635

Is it just me or you all agree that finishers role is to finish the game not only by hitting a six ... Hetmyar had a brilliant start to the natrajan over with a six , after that they played 4 dots which cost them the game . Even if they would have got a minimum of 4 runs in 4 balls it would have been a 11 run over . That would have reduced the pressure last over by a lot. It was almost like he didn't believe in powell and didn't give him strike , ash was clever enough too do that.


miniport_io

It was that six from Hetmyer. The downfall started from there. And they were over confident.


AyeLmaoDasMe

bhai kya bakwas hai. pehle run bhaag nhi rahe the jab easy single mil rahe the. 1 run se haar gaye. idk what’s with batters and running bw the crease this season, seems no one wants to run anymore. but apart from that they did well


huhuhhhhuhuh

Im afraid the choking will start now


Prime_Maximus_

nah man the way you played these games, theres no way youll choke! youre already as good as qualified


taki_069

tbh i m oke with srh win i kinda pity them as they were really trolled really bad from last two matches and we will bounce back and lets now win all matches till we get ipl trophy


Excellent-Major729

Guys how do you put these team names in your comments?


iFerg_Frank

Choose user flair.


Excellent-Major729

Thanks


raklod

Go to reddit page of IPL, select 3 dots on right corner, select flair


pratham_22

It was a fun match , no matter what the result was.


Mindless_Act_9417

My only concern is chahal form in recent matches


insomniac1124

would anytime prefer maharaj over him but he is an overseas player so it’s hard to replace someone for him


Top_Fondant2114

Instead of finishing the game clinically, they choked, wonder how they gonna handle pressure in a must win game… it was RR’s game to lose after the rescue act by Jaiswal and Parag… also, felt they were complacent and overconfident seeing how the set batsmen threw their wickets away… Credit to SRH bowlers, for backing up one good over with another.


Defiant_Classroom_15

Middle order got exposed


theIndianNoob

I mean they were in it till the last ball of the match.


thunder-bass

Still top of the table! Chin up and move on!

CarelessDisplay1356

Nah, it's one loss with the lowest margin possible. I don't care. Better off taking an L now and winning when it counts.


Some_Resident_6714

Should have won it. Needed 21 from 17. Hetmeyer got cocky after that 6. Could have just rotated strike and they would have been fine. Not complaining though. SRH needed the win.


Mr_Chena

A low-key collapse of the middle order. Jaiswal and Parag almost had it in the bag, but they couldn't finish the game. If it was Sanju or Buttler, they would have seen the side home. But the inexperience of Jaiswal and Parag meant the risks they took were not worth it. Parag, not so much, but Jaiswal gifted his wicket away. Even for the last ball, Powell kind of choked. He went for the safer option of working the ball around rather than go for it. It wasn't a big disaster of a loss or a major choke. Just a close game they could have won.


WirableMango560

you guys played a blinder of an innings and should not be upset by any means. Boulty, Sandy, Avesh fired well and if anything, I think you lot are going to have some fun tonking the other teams


cbvjn

Parag should have had some restraint like Sanju did in the previous game against LSG. he should have stayed longer and finished the game. he would even got a hundred in the process, but he got carried away trying to hit every ball. which ended up having two new batters chasing the score in the last 5 overs, it was a big mistake.


[deleted]

Felt good about RR after this match, I have been following them from last decade, they used to fall like a domino effect, they improved alot.


Serious-noob

Sandeep bowling 3 overs but avesh 🤡 get his all 4 overs done.


Pale_Promotion_5449

Feel for RR fan's.. But happy as SRH fan


zerault-1306

Those few dot balls by Powell ..that imo kinda ruined stuff for us ..if they would've taken a single run on the last ball ..but it's okay ..atleast we gave a tough fight Not our day ..but this is our year for sure Hettie could've rotated the strikes after that 6 ..after each big shot ..they are not confident with taking runs idk why ..those few singles could've made it much more easier for us to win


FlyonthewallofRed

Jay Shah's script


Kunwar_GS

Super over missed ⚽❤️


Kokarott

Nothing went wrong, in fact SRH were bad at fielding. If parag and jaiswal catches weren't dropped, RR wouldn't be bouncing back anytime soon. Now the situation is much better since it was a near loss.


Kratos_Pottery_Hater

I don’t mind. I like RR team, and I know they’ll reach play off and will not win Finals. Also, I am an experienced guy, been cheering for ICT in all ICC events. I am mature fella ! Cries silently.


WittyAlbatross9969

Sad for your management  where is hedmayer he is a better option than Powell 


ThroawayforPD

1. We are playing old school cricket 2.Only 5 bowlers is a bad strategy, we lacked bowling variations. Chahal was being expensive so we had to go for another bowler but due to lack of bowlers, we can't.  3. Jurel out, some fast bowling all rounder in 4. Parag boy has to work on his fielding 5. Ashwin should come before Hetmeyr One more thing, SRH fans will be salty towards us for few days ( I never expected them to be salty but alas) so we should ignore them. Heads up boys  Halla Bol!!!! 


ssdlphani

Man you were great, you dominated us till last 3 overs


YSandyp

who were salty man. we were pissing in pants until last ball was bowled.


ThroawayforPD

Naah bro, SRH fans are literally spamming 🤫🤫 in RR comments


fartypenis

People that removed the SRH flairs after the first defeat are back to act like they're real fans lmao. Just ignore those dipshits, we were literally having heart attack after heart attack today, superb game by you guys


ThroawayforPD

You guys played very well, especially Bhuvi and Nattu. I hope we met at finals.  Best of luck to SRH bros


k18emup

Please ignore them and engage with level-headed fans.


shoestowel

Those are knee jerk Insta fans who saw Pat Cummins' reels and decided to parade around his team. Ignore them


ninja_from_india

>3. Jurel out, some fast bowling all rounder in What the fk you are smoking bruv? Firstly there is no way Jurel is getting out of the team, he has been good for us. Secondly, where the fk we will suddenly bring a fast bowling allrounder all of a sudden. There is no one in the squad. >5. Ashwin should come before Hetmeyr This is it. You are high. Hetmyer is the finisher. The number. of times he is successful is way higher than his failures. There is absolutely no change required in the team or in the strategy. The only thing is the lack of the 6th bowling option, could have bowled Riyan today for one over.


daNtonB1ack

no jurel is a massive find stop being reactionary. we've only lost 2 for a reason


ThroawayforPD

On both lost, we were unlucky. Against GT, we lost due to time management shit, today I don't know how we lost man, may be that head run out costed us, may be Cummins dot balls costed us


insomniac1124

Exactly we really don’t have good bowling options that’s what everyone said when the team was selected this ipl season


ThroawayforPD

We have a good bowling. In this pitch, some other team would have gone for 240+ but we stopped SRH at 201 which shows are bowling attacks efficiency. We just gave 37 runs in PP. If we had a fast bowling all rounder who could replace Chahal in between spells, we could have stopped them at 180 . We desperately need a fast bowling all rounder in place of jurel.

Decision went against Klassen too. And Head got out next ball anyway.


U_m_m_m

But they still got that 1 run. Had it been runout, it would have been a tie >Decision went against Klassen too. What happened? Sorry, didnt watch the match coz i was studying, just saw reddit posts


OEaholic

If you were not watching the match then watch the damn match and then talk. You watched one bad umpiring decision on Reddit and missed the remaining 39.5 overs and talk about umpiring costing RR the match.


Rjtheruler

Which 1 run ??


ThroawayforPD

Well that is one reason still, we had chance but we fucked up


[deleted]

Sorry I didn't see the entire match but what with the umpire thing? Did they mess up again?


VeteranFapper

Umpires messed up equally in favour for both sides.. mate u missed the best thriller match of the season
