Jofra Archer begins a bad dream for the season, scoring 76 runs in his 4 overs against SRH. This was the most expensive mantra in IPL history as it had become wicketlaces in his first two matches.
But since then, Archer looks close to his best. He has bowled brilliantly in the powerplay and has been one of the bright places for RR in recent matches.

Beyond Archer, the bowling lineup has seen everywhere.
Tushar Deshpande is leaking runs, and Mahesh Thekshana and Vanidu Hasranga’s Sri Lankan spin pair, Chahal and Ashwin have not come close to copying the success.
Quiz: Who is that IPL player?
In the batting department, inconsistency has distressed the top order.
Openers Jaiswal and Samson have scored 233 and 224 runs in 7 matches respectively.
While Jaiswal has managed three half -centuries, Samson has fought to change his start, with the exception of a strong knock in the season’s opener.
Ryan Parag, who was expected to build on his form from last season, did not distribute, and Jurall also did not live up to expectations.
Playoff prediction
To really qualify for the playoffs, Royals will need to win six of their remaining seven matches – a long task.
While not impossible, the possibility of such change is thin. As things stand, RR will need something close to miracles to survive in the race for the playoff spot.
