Rajasthan Royals' Fielding Coach Reflects on Season's Disappointments

Lack of Execution in Crunch Moments

Rajasthan Royals' fielding coach Dishant Yagnik has identified the team's inability to execute plans in crunch moments as a major factor in their disappointing season. The Royals were often close to winning matches, but ultimately fell short due to poor execution.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The Future Star

Yagnik is confident that the team's young players, including 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, will become stars in the future. The Royals have a reputation for nurturing young talent and Yagnik believes that this season's setbacks will only make the team stronger.

Fielding Department: A Major Concern

The Royals' fielding department has been a major concern this season, with the team guilty of putting down too many catches. Yagnik attributes this to an anomaly and believes that fielding form can fluctuate in the sport.

Credit to Mumbai Indians' Batters

Yagnik praised Mumbai Indians' batting effort, crediting their batters for putting up a fantastic show. He acknowledged that their skill sets proved to be a handful for the Royals' bowling plans.

Tactical Decisions: A Blunder or a Logical Choice?

The Royals' decision to bowl at the toss looked like a blunder in hindsight, but Yagnik defended the move, citing the technical points that led to the decision. He believes that the team's chase against GT was a key factor in their decision to bowl first.
