Rajasthan Royals’ batting coach Vikram Rathour expressed disappointment after the team’s narrow loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025. Despite being eliminated from playoffs contention, RR almost spoiled KKR’s campaign, needing just three runs to win from the last ball. However, a run out by Rinku Singh on the final ball secured a 1-run victory for KKR. Rathour acknowledged that RR has struggled to close out games this season, despite individual players’ good performances. He dismissed the notion that inexperience was a factor, stating that players like Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have enough experience. Rathour attributed RR’s struggles to injuries and noted that fielding and collective performance have been areas of concern. However, he remains confident that motivation will not be an issue for the team in the final games of the season, emphasizing the opportunity to showcase skills in the IPL. Overall, Rathour highlighted the need for improvement in various areas to finish the season on a positive note.
