A few of CSK’s errors had been fairly painful to look at,” Rayudu mentioned on JioStar after CSK’s defeat.

Rajasthan Royals had been actually up for it, and this reveals that fielding is not only about having a younger aspect—it’s about anticipation and consciousness. Riyan Parag’s catch, when Shivam Dube was going robust, was an actual game-changer,” Rayudu added.
