IPL 2020: Rating all teams based on their performance in the first two weeks
The tournament started off quite surprisingly. Teams with the usual high expectations have found themselves in a spot of bother after losing games early on.
5. Rajasthan Royals (RR) – 7.5
Rajasthan Royals led by the great Steve Smith is a well-balanced side in the IPL. The Royals kick-started IPL 2020 with a comprehensive win against the mighty Chennai Super Kings. Scoring more than 200 runs, the RR bowlers managed to stop the in-form CSK batsmen from chasing the target down. Steve Smith has led from the front for Royals. The side is well-balanced with enough firepower to finish well.
Sanju Samson stunned cricket fans with a splendid knock of 74 off just 32 balls in the first match. The amazing partnership between the skipper Smith and Sanju allowed RR to mount a massive total. Scoring in excess of 200 twice in two consecutive matches is definitely a great sign for the side. Rajasthan Royals have a young set of passionate cricketers who are yet to stand up to the occasion.
Stealing a scintillating finish against the KXIP, Rajasthan Royals have certainly ticked all boxes. The knock of Rahul Tewatia earned two points for the side. He also smashed five sixes in an over. The game against the red-hot Royal Challengers Bangalore put the team under a huge amount of pressure. The fall of early wickets while batting and the inability of the bowlers to pick the wickets cost RR the game. RR get a rating of 7.5!
