Speaking on Cricbuzz, Mishra was afraid: “You made a mistake in the event of a crunch. How can you convince others? It’s not that you were far in the game. You were always in the game. You were not defeated by 40-50 runs. It was a close match. Thought to deepen the match and end it.”

Should Ryan Parag continue as captain for Rajasthan Royals?
“We really did well with the ball. I felt that it is 210-215 wickets, we have really kept them back. Through our innings we were on the driver’s seat in half the way. We blamed ourselves. We have not shown enough intentions against the spinners,” Parag told after the defeat.
Parag won the toss and opted for a bowl to post RCB with a challenging 205/5.
RR’s chase began bright with a fierce 49 to 19 runs of Yashsvi Jaiswal and a concrete contribution with Dhruv Jurlel (34 to 47), but it separated in the final over. Parag’s brief cameo (10 to 10 runs) ended prematurely, and he also dropped a sitter in the field.
RCB’s Josh Hazelwood sealed the match with a brilliant 19th over, took two wickets in two balls and accepted only one run. His efforts limited RR to 194/9, leading RCB win 11 runs and dropped RR from the playoff controversy after the seventh defeat in nine matches.
Jaiswal and young Vaibhav despite laying a solid foundation with a banging beginning despite Suryavanshi, RR could not maintain speed. Hazelwood’s Redemption Arc – After a hurry hit – exposed the Gulf in the Bay between the two sides.
