Rajasthan Royals started their IPL 2022 campaign with a bang against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They won the game by a huge margin of 61 runs and their NRR took a steep rise.
Sanju Samson’s half-century and some blistering knocks by Devdutt Padikkal and Shimron Hetmyer powered Rajasthan to a brilliant total. The bowlers of the side were at the money from ball one, and they wrapped up the SRH side. Yuzvendra Chahal took three wickets, whereas the duo of Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna took a couple each.
The inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals are searching for their second IPL title. After winning the title in 2008, they have even struggled to qualify for the top-4 in most seasons. They have managed to secure a decent enough team for the IPL 2022 season.
Rajasthan Royals have always been criticized for their weak bowling, but they have accurately fixed the department this time around. With the arrival of R Ashwin & Yuzvendra Chahal in spin and Trent Boult & Prasidh Krishna in pace, the Royals have strengthened their bowling.
