Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar expressed disappointment over Rajasthan Royals’ lacklustre performance in IPL 2025, questioning their approach after their fifth consecutive defeat. Despite having Rahul Dravid as their head coach, RR has struggled in close run-chases and failed to execute a strategic game plan. Gavaskar criticized the team’s performance, calling it “unthinking cricket” and baffling considering Dravid’s precision in his thinking. He highlighted RR’s inability to perform under pressure and questioned their thought process during crucial matches.
Currently ranked 8th in the IPL 2025 points table with just two wins from nine matches, RR’s chances of advancing to the playoffs are slim. Captain Riyan Parag has suggested that the season may be beyond repair, indicating the need for a major turnaround. RR will face Gujarat Titans in their upcoming match on April 29, needing to salvage their pride and improve their performance to have any hope of a successful season.
