So as expected by most of you, RR is out of IPL. It has been so bad for me to see such performance of players & team I am supporting. There is also one more bomb – Our main bhai – Shane Warne may not be available for next IPL. But I hope he may be at least in form of Coach for RR. Also, in next IPL, there will be a new players for RR. IPL authorities have allowed to retain only 4 players of previous team. So, it will be a tough call for RR for selection of 4 players. Hence I agree with opinion of Sachin Tendulkar for allowing 8 previous players in team.
When it comes for analysis of defeat of RR, I think inexperience cost them. No chief player in team gave them disadvantage. When it comes for batting line-up, I respect Shane’s decision to play Yusuf at lower order, though it has been criticized by many. Because he has played fabulous innings at lower order in previous IPL & upper line up of RR is not especially different then previous. But batting form of all players had cost them a lot. As Smith was injured, there was no perfect opener. Lumb was good but Ojha is not one. Ojha lacks in technique & he need flat pitch to perform. If we look at other team, player at one –down position is strongest one in team, but RR didn’t have that one. Middle order was completely out of form. Slog over hitter Yusuf pathan played only 2 innings out of 14. As compared to batting line-up, bowling was good. But I didn’t understand why Shane benched Tait & Munaf after few matches. Also, continuous team changes degraded team performance. Anyway, it was past.
I hope in next season, Shane will be there with Yusuf, Watson, Trivedi. Also, they must select experienced players in team.
