It sounds unbelievable that Rajasthan Royals could not chase a target of 155, especially when they have heavyweights such as Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer in the squad. When Hetmyer got out, the target was still achievable. But they chose to send in the useless Riyan Parag and the inexperienced Dhruv Jurel to the crease. I still don't know why Parag is in the team season after season. He has neither contributed with the bat, nor with the ball. Why he is always selected to the playing XI? Rumors are that he is one of the favorites of Sanju Samson, and therefore gets automatic selection.
It is natural for everyone to be surprised. It is difficult to accept why a team as strong as Rajasthan Royals could not chase down a target of 155 runs and win. Buttler played an effective innings but could not score runs with the ball. Sanju Samson's run out put their team back in the race for victory.
After the dismissal of Sanju Samson, the fans and the team management had faith in Simron Hetmyer as he led the team to victory with his brilliant batting and responsible batting in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals. But in this match he could not finish the game responsibly.
Parag failed to prove himself in every match. Cricket is a game of performance if nepotism is here then it can never bring good for the team. Even if Parag is very much liked by Sanju Samson, he has to perform and make his place in the team otherwise he will never bring anything good to the team.
