The Rajasthan Royals, who have lost three of their opening four matches in IPL 2021, will face the fifth match of the tournament against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday (April 24). Joffra Archer has been ruled out of the tournament after Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone. Sanju Samson, who takes over the leadership for the first time, says things are getting harder from day to day. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and commentator Akash Chopra has said that the Rajasthan team will be back on the road to victory.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Akash said, “Rajasthan Royals have more problems because they don’t have players. If they don’t have players, what they can do, they can change their approach. The future of Rajasthan will not be changed by personal changes. Things change when his batsman doesn’t play with much consistency, so I think he struggles a lot. He has to ask Jose (Jose Butler) to score more runs this time. Sanju Samson has to run because in the first three games of the last three years your average is 70 and the strike rate is 150, but by the fourth game it is 22 and the strike rate is 130. This should not be continuous every year. ‘

The former cricketer said the rest of Rajasthan’s batsmen should also take responsibility. He said, ‘David Miller needs to score a run. Ryan Pollen has been playing all game and this young player now has to grow up. Rahul Tevatia has to contribute. Shivam Dubey has to play as he should and turn it into a big innings. The team should replace Mann Vohra at eleven with the successful Jaiswal. Rajasthan defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 10 wickets in their last match.
