Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad both the teams played their first match against each other today at the Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Ground, last night. However, the match was clearly one sided.
Right from the beginning, Rajasthan Royals gave a very poor performance. Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to ball first and gave Rajasthan Royals an opportunity to bat first.
Sunrisers Hyderabad came fully prepared, not just they delivered great bowling but also smashed the balls delivered by RR with their bats.
Shikhar Dhawan, from Sunrisers Hyderabad remained unbeaten and managed to score 77 runs in 57 balls, which included 13 fours and 1 six with the strike rate of 135. Meanwhile, Williamson remained unbeaten on 36 (35) at the other end.
However, on the other hand it was one of the worst openings for the Rajasthan Royals as the match started with Royals opener D Arcy Short getting dismissed in the very first over of the game and soon after that, Sidharth Kaul took the big wicket of the captain of Rajasthan Royals, Ajinkya Rahane.
The fans of IPL had taken over the social media and were trolling the Rajasthan Royals team very badly since the start of the match. But majorly people were trolling Rajasthan Royals for not including the all-rounder Binny Stuart in the playing 11. Considering the fact that he is one of the best all rounders when it comes to T20s, people were very brutally trolling RR for doing injustice with him.
Have a look at some of the reactions:
Rajasthan lost by 9 wickets..

Reason for failure-
No Proper Batting Order.
Not a Good XI.
Rahane still doesn’t know his teammates well and he is not able to find wickets.
Team should have gone with Binny instead of Shreyas or K Gowtham.
Spin should have introduced at both ends at start.— RakeshReddy (@reddyrakesh619) April 9, 2018
Now we know value of smith & watson
In bowlers ko dekh ke lag raha h ki binny hi accha h #SRHvRR— Ankit Kumawat (@Ankit__kumawat) April 9, 2018
@rajasthanroyals keep binny in squad, he can be a finisher for you. And play Jofra in place of Laughlin…#SRHvRR
