In fact, last season they were able to achieve only 1 win in 5 matches there.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Royals captain Yashasvi Jaiswal decided to bowl first, but it had the opposite effect. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan added 118 runs for the first wicket, in which Sudarshan was out for 55 runs. Gill played the ball perfectly and scored 84 runs from 44 balls, before Washington Sundar produced a perfect finish to take GT to 229. RR&#8217;s chase was completely resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Vaibhav Suryavanshi was aggressive, but none of the other batsmen could get off to a good start. Player of the match Rashid Khan cut short Dhruv Jurel&#8217;s cameo and also dismissed Donovan Ferreira in that over. Ravindra Jadeja scored the maximum 38 runs, but Rashid&#8217;s four wickets were so much that it was not possible to recover from them. RR lost by 77 runs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-app-promo-slot post-app-promo-slot--side clearfix\">\n<div class=\"ca-app-promo-wrap text-center ca-app-promo-article-side float-md-end ms-md-3 mb-3 mx-auto mx-md-0\">\n    <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.cricketaddictor.io\" class=\"ca-app-promo-link d-inline-block text-decoration-none\" title=\"Cricket Addictor \u2014 fastest live scores on Google Play\"><br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cricketaddictor.com\/assets\/images\/newad3.jpeg\" alt=\"Cricket Addictor - Fastest Live Score on Google Play\" class=\"ca-app-promo-img rounded-3 shadow-sm\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: min(240px, 44vw); width: auto; height: auto; object-fit: contain; display: block; margin-inline: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"it_was_a_disappointing_perfromance_from_us_shane_bond\">It was a disappointing performance from our side \u2013 Shane Bond<\/h2>\n<p>After the match, Bond spoke in the press conference and talked about RR&#8217;s disappointing performance in the match.

It was a really big game for us, the same number of points in both games.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Haven&#8217;t looked at the table in terms of net run-rate, but we have to win two or maybe all three of our last three to make the playoffs.

While batsmen were constantly coming up with new ways of doing things, bowlers were not necessarily doing the same. <\/span><span\/><span\/><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Batsmen are playing upper cuts, reverses and scoops. They have developed their shots. Bowlers have to develop their skills too. For them, this is an opportunity to be like: &#8216;I can do this, I can make myself a lot of money and become a superstar.&#8217; <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shane Bond said, &#8220;But we have not seen it consistently across the board. It is not easy for the bowlers.
