[Watch] R Ashwin Departs As Tristan Stubbs Takes A Spectacular Catch At The Boundary

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals [x.com]

Rajasthan Royals faced a daunting challenge against the Delhi Capitals, with their batting lineup crumbling early in the innings. After opting to bat first and losing key wickets in the first 10 overs, the Royals were banking on Ravichandran Ashwin to steer them towards a respectable total. 

However, their hopes were dashed when Ashwin fell victim to a brilliant catch by Tristan Stubbs in the deep mid-wicket boundary. His departure for 29 runs off 19 balls further compounded the Royals' batting woes.

The early dismissals of players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Jos Buttler had already weakened the Royals' batting lineup, making Ashwin's wicket all the more significant.

Despite their efforts, the Royals struggled to form substantial partnerships and failed to post a competitive total.

Ashwin's wicket served as a stark reminder of the Royals' vulnerabilities in the batting department, emphasizing the need for a more consistent performance from their top order. With the tournament progressing, the Royals will have to address these issues if they are to stand a chance against formidable opponents.

At the moment, Rajasthan Royals find themselves at 108 for 4, with Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel at the crease.
