IPL 2022, RR vs MI: Rajasthan Royals aim to continue winning momentum against struggling Mumbai Indians
Rajasthan Royals are reaping benefits of getting it right in the mega auction. After several years, the franchise can boast of a attack high on experience and talent. The last three outings perfectly explain the massive role Royals’ bowlers have played in winning them the games. Runs or no runs, bowlers have done a splendid job in defending totals ranging from 144 to 222 this IPL. With Yuzvendra Chahal in possession of the Purple Cap with 18 wickets from eight matches, other bowlers have complemented him pretty well and the team has altogether affected 61 dismissals, most by any team so far. Strikingly, as the tournament is progressing, Ravichandran Ashwin too has started having a bigger impact with important breakthroughs. The 35-year-old is more than just a run-stopper and does not look like a bowler who until recently was labelled as being ‘defensive’ in the T20s.
