The Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga could not live up to the expectations on a track which helped the slow bowlers.
“We have spinners in Hasaranga and Theekshana who are obviously world-class international players. At times I thought they were short (today) whereas if they had just owned the lengths a bit longer, there was definitely a lot of purchase for the spinners,” RR’s spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule said.
Theekshana went wicket-less and conceded 32 runs in fours overs, while Hasaranga gave away 34 runs in three overs while taking the wicket of Rahane.
“But again I just feel that they just got into the IPL championship, so now I am sure that in the coming games they will have an impact,” he added.
“I just trust all the spinners, all the bowlers in the team. I just want to say that it’s again a young side, a very promising side batting wise, bowling wise. They are looking forward to every game and I am sure they will come good in the coming matches,” Bahutule said.
