Jaiswal’s bad form
Yaswasi Jaiswal, the young opener who failed to shine in the first two matches of the season, was out for 4 off 6 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Jaiswal’s inability to put up a good partnership with Jose Butler in the opening over was a setback for Rajasthan. Returned to Rajasthan with high hopes this season will be a disappointment to the fans of the Kaiyan opener’s recent form team.

Butler’s slow batting in the middle overs
Jose Butler was Rajasthan’s top scorer with 70 not out off 47 balls, including seven sixes. Butler’s batting was crucial in Rajasthan’s top score in the match. Butler, however, was seen on the field yesterday struggling to middle the ball in the middle overs, which was unusual. Butler failed to speed up the innings in the middle overs and Rajasthan suffered a setback. The batsman returned to form in the final overs, but his inability to score a significant run in the middle overs of the innings also affected Rajasthan’s score.
The game turned around in Ashwin’s over
RCB needed 82 runs in the last 7 overs to win. Rajasthan was in the driving seat of the race at the time. But the game changed in the 14th over when Ravichandran Ashwin bowled. Ashwin conceded 21 runs in that over, which saw both no-balls and free-hits. With this, RCB’s target was reduced to 61 runs in 6 overs. In fact, the game turned out to be a no-ball thrown by Ashwin.
Rajasthan bowlers not bowling as per captain’s plan
The Rajasthan Royals lost a match that was in their hands at one stage yesterday. One of the main reasons for that is the bowlers who do not bowl according to the field setup prepared by the captain Sanju Samson. Rajasthan fielded with the emphasis on the off side but the Rajasthan bowlers took the wicket by bowling in the slot on the leg side. Shahbaz and Dinesh Karthik really took advantage of this mistake of the Rajasthan bowlers. The result was Rajasthan’s first defeat of the season.

Experience of Dinesh Karthik
It was Dinesh Karthik’s brilliant innings that lifted RCB to victory in the losing match and pushed Rajasthan to defeat in the winning match. Karthik snatched the game from Rajasthan using only his experience. DK’s unbeaten 44 off 23 balls, including seven fours and a six, gave Bangalore two valuable points.
