IPL 2025: RR Needed Sixth Bowling Option To Ease Pressure On Main Bowlers, Opines Bangar
Barring Jofra Archer: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes Rajasthan Royals (RR) should have got a proper sixth bowling option, which would have eased the pressure on other bowlers during their 58-run defeat to Gujarat Titans’ (GT) in IPL 2025.
Barring Jofra Archer’s 1-30, none of the RR bowlers exerted serious pressure on GT batters as the hosts’ made a solid 217/6. In reply, RR were bowled out for 159 in 19.2 overs and suffered their third defeat of the competition.
What also hurt RR was the absence of leg-spin all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga due to personal reasons, though his replacement Fazalhaq Farooqi had an economy rate below 10. "A wonderful wicket to bat on and the ball was coming on nicely. There was a little bit of pace and bounce which Jofra (Archer) exploited really well – (he was) the standout bowler.
