IPL 2018, RR vs SRH: 5 reasons why Rajasthan Royals loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad

#2 The big guns fail again

Stokes and Buttler failed to make an impact

Rajasthan has built their batting line up around the likes of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. But both of them have failed to repay the faith imposed on them by the team management.

Stokes departed without troubling the scorers, losing his wicket to the part-time off-spin of Yusuf Pathan. Buttler played an irresponsible shot and gave the simplest of catches to Dhawan off the bowling of Rashid Khan.

Both the Englishmen need to step up their game if the Royals have to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
