Trent Boult is the reason Lucknow Super Giants was not able to get a good start. He is such a good new ball bowler and could trouble any batsman and today he was in rhythm and he troubled everyone and picked wickets as well and gave Rajasthan Royals the confidence that if their batsman can score a decent run to defend, they have the bowlers to handle the rest.
Royal Rajasthan have very good season and in today match they have done good score without help of Jos Buttler which is another big achievement from them and after having very decent target of 178 their bowlers also done good job specially Trent Boult which is one of the best bowler with new ball have completed his duty and remove Quinton de Kock and Ayush Badoni in his second over which break backbone of LSG and after this shock they were never able to stable for this chase and lost this match by 24 runs and now stay at third spot of league table.
Even their play-off chances are still bright, but now it's time for them to have some better planning for last few matches as they are new and already done good job in this season.
Rajasthan Royals are playing really well and in the last match, they had a very convincing win. I think they are surely going to play in the next stage. They have shown really good performance in this IPL and I believed they will at least go to the finals.
yes, they did lose some matches that I did not expect them to lose but the good thing that they did is to keep the run rate well and that's why they are in the second position in the standing right now. LSG has done really well along with GT in spite of being the new team in the IPL.
