IPL 2022 Final, GT vs RR: Rajasthan Royals have plenty of enchancment to do in all areas, says Kumar Sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara, the Director of cricket of Rajasthan Royals, had no qualms in accepting that the workforce wants “a lot of improvement to do in all areas” after shedding the Indian Premier League 2022 ultimate to Gujarat Titans.

The Royals went down in opposition to the Titans by seven wickets on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahemdabad.

“I think we have got a lot of improvement to do in all areas really,” Sangakkara mentioned on the post-match press convention.

“If you really take our batting, we had huge contributions from Jos (Buttler), contributions from Sanju (Samson), and Shimron Hetmyer in the early stages. Riyan (Parag) and Devdutt (Padikkal) played well in patches, but in terms of overall performance, we need a little bit from the support-role players.”

Although Rajasthan Royals could not cross the ultimate hurdle, their gamers Buttler (863 runs) and Yuzvendra Chahal (27 wickets) ended up successful the Orange and Purple caps for many runs and most wickets within the season respectively.

“I think overall we have the purple cap, the orange cap, and as a team, we played extremely well. And I thought from the time we started the tournament to now, the guys have put in an amazing effort, so I am very very proud,” mentioned the Sri Lankan nice.

When requested why did not Rajasthan put Gujarat Titans into bat first after successful the toss, Sangakkara defined, “We were debating whether to put them in first as well.

“By the time we arrived on the floor, we regarded on the pitch, it was fairly dry. And we thought it’s going to get slower and perhaps provide a bit of little bit of flip for our spinners. So we anticipated to get about 160-165. We had been rather well set in our batting innings: 70 for 1 on the midway mark. Then Sanju bought out after which Hardik (Pandya) got here on and bowled some stunning overs and we let Gujarat again into the sport.”

Gujarat Titans restricted Rajasthan Royals to 130/9, with Pandya taking three essential wickets, together with Buttler. The Titans then chased down the goal with 11 balls to spare to carry the IPL trophy of their maiden season and in entrance of their dwelling crowd.
