Dubai: The situation of Rajasthan Royals, which started with winning two consecutive matches in IPL 2020, is getting worse now. In fact, in the second match played against Delhi Capitals this season, Rajasthan Royals have been defeated by 13 runs. This is the fifth defeat of the Royals in this tournament.
In such a subsequent match, the Royals team may face problems in qualifying for the playoffs. Meanwhile, in this article, we are going to tell you about those 5 big reasons due to which Rajasthan had to face defeat in front of Delhi.
Shikhar Dhawan gives up the run out
In this match, Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Shikhar Dhawan scored 57 runs against Rajasthan Royals. But there was an opportunity during the match when Dhawan was batting on 30 runs, then Royals’ Rahul Tewatia could not hit a direct hit for a run out on the wicket from within the radius of 30 yards.

No success in middle overs
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) bowlers, who took wickets in the opening and death overs, did not get wickets in the middle overs. Due to which the match-winning partnership between Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer happened.
Steve Smith’s flop show continues
After leaving the first two matches in this tournament for Rajasthan Royals, the process of bad batting of captain Steve Smith continues. In this match too, Smith could not show anything special and got out after scoring 1 run.
Big partnership not formed
Chasing a target of 162 runs, a good partnership was made for the Rajasthan Royals for the fourth wicket between Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson. But after the dismissal of these two, the wickets of the team started to decline.
Middle order performed disappointingly
The dismal performance of Rajasthan Royals middle-order batting continued against Delhi Capitals. Apart from Ben Stokes, no other batsman could stay on the wicket for long.
