Rajasthan Royals (RR) suffered a second consecutive defeat in IPL 2025. The first Sunrisers lost against Hyderabad (SRH), and now the team lost against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Team captain Ryan Parag stated the main reason for this defeat, saying that the team was able to score 20 runs, which changed the attitude of the match.

What did Ryan Parag say?

Ryan Parag said in the post-match presentation ceremony-
“170 could have actually been a good score, this was our goal. But we were left 20 runs short. I knew a little hurry to know the wicket.”

He also admitted that the team’s strategy was to dismiss Quinton De Kock quickly, but this could not happen.
“We made many plans in the middle overs, but Dickock batted brilliantly. So congratulations to him!”
Dickock scored an excellent innings of 97 runs in 61 balls, which snatched the match from Rajasthan.

Do you like to bat at number 3?

Ryan Parag came out to bat at number 3 this time. On this he said –
“Last year I played at number 4, and this year the team wants me to bat at number 3. I am ready to play wherever I need the team.”

What did the captain say about the youth team?

Ryan Parag also spoke on the squad with young players of the team –
“This year our team is more young than last year. We have to unite during the entire match. We are doing well in small phase, but now we have to perform well in the entire match.”

Next match – return with new strategy

He further said that –
“We are learning from our mistakes and will avoid repeating them. Will enter the field with a new mentality against Chennai.”

Now the thing to be seen will be that Rajasthan Royals take a lesson from their frequent defeat and adopt what kind of strategy in further matches.
