2018 IPL, CSK vs RR: Five reasons why Rajasthan Royals lost

#2 Watson’s costly drop

Binny almost accounted for Watson, but the chance was spilt by Tripathi

Players like Gayle, Watson do not offer many chances to the opposition. But when they do, you need to make sure that they are not spilled.

The decision of opening the bowling with Stuart Binny raised a few eyebrows. Binny did not start off well and was hammered for two boundaries off the first two balls.

However, Binny almost made an immediate impact as he managed to draw an edge from the bat off Watson.

Rahul Tripathi moved swiftly to his right at first slip but was unable to hold on. The drop would prove to be very costly for the Royals as Watson went on to slam a blistering century.
