Parag's Quote
"I think skill-wise, we executed pretty nicely, but I think we dropped a few too many catches"

Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag ne maan liya ki unki team ne match haarne ki ek badi wajah — catches drop karna — ko ignore nahi kiya ja sakta. Sunrisers Hyderabad ke khilaf five-wicket ki haar ke baad Parag ne seedha baat kahi.

Jaipur mein huye is match mein PTI ke mutabiq, RR ne fielding mein kai mauke gawaye. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ne 37 balls mein 103 runs ki dhamakedar century banaayi — jo IPL ki third fastest century hai — lekin yeh bhi team ko jeet nahi dila paayi.

Catches drop karne ka asar

Match ke dauran RR ki fielding kaafi weak rahi. Abhishek Sharma ko do baar drop kiya gaya — woh 57 runs bana kar out hue. Ishan Kishan ne 74 runs ki innings kheli aur Abhishek ke saath 132 runs ki partnership banaayi. Nitish Kumar Reddy ko bhi ek baar drop kiya gaya jab woh sirf 14 runs par the — baad mein woh 36 runs bana gaye.

Parag ne match ke baad broadcaster se baat karte hue kaha:

"I think skill-wise, we executed pretty nicely, but I think we dropped a few too many catches."
Unka kehna tha ki team ne bowling aur batting mein accha kiya lekin fielding mein mistakes ne match ka palta kar diya.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ka record century

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ne 37 balls mein 103 runs ki inning kheli — yeh IPL ka third fastest century hai. Lekin unki yeh brilliant innings bhi team ko win nahi dila paayi kyunki fielding mein zyada galtiyan hui.

Hamaari Baat: Fielding hi match ka turning point thi

Seedha baat karein toh — RR ki haar ki sabse badi wajah fielding thi. Jab aap opposition ke top batsmen ko drop karte ho, toh woh match ka momentum badal deta hai. Abhishek Sharma ko do baar drop karna aur Nitish Kumar Reddy ko ek baar — yeh teen catches match ka result decide kar gaye. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ki century waste gayi kyunki team fielding mein consistent nahi thi. Riyan Parag ne sahi kaha — skill-wise execution theek tha, lekin catches drop karne ki aadat ne RR ko match diya.
