Cricket | Tuesday | 6th October, 2020

Rajasthan Royals kind of crash-arrived after a flying beginning in IPL 2020. After two dazzling triumphs in high-scoring undertakings in Sharjah, their batting came a cropper in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. One of the primary purposes behind that is their over-reliance on Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, and Sanju Samson.

The accomplished Robin Uthappa has been one of the significant bad players for RR in this IPL and previous India opener Gautam Gambhir trusts Uthappa has not looked any sort of structure.

“Time’s running out for both Robin Uthappa and Riyan Parag. Uthappa has not looked in any kind of form, to be honest,” Gambhir told a news media organization.

5, 9, 2, and 17 have been Uthappa's score in this IPL up until now. Gambhir, who has imparted the dressing to Uthappa for KKR, said time is running out for the right-handed wicket-keeper and batsman.

“Robin Uthappa has to deliver. There were a lot of expectations that Robin will be able to finish off games, and if not that, at least give them the momentum they need in the middle order. So, Robin needs to deliver on those expectations,” Gambhir said.

The previous KKR captain additionally said that youthful Riyan Parag too needs to go to the gathering, in any case, there will be many changes in the RR team when Ben Stokes shows up.

“Riyan Parag has not looked in any kind of form either. So, obviously, they have guys sitting on the bench, plus when Ben Stokes shows in, the combination will be completely different,” he said.

Gambhir says that RR is too much dependent on its top-order.

“It’s pretty tricky for them because they are heavily dependent on Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, and Sanju Samson. If all of them go out early in one game, there are serious issues for them, so they need to rectify their middle order,” he said.
