The Rajasthan Royals spinners have been quite good in this season. Krishnappa Gowtham and Shreyas Gopal had combined well and had shared 10 wickets (5 each). Ish Sodhi who got a game against Sunrisers Hyderabad did well too.

However, Sodhi got dropped as RR opted for D’Arcy Short and brought back Gopal who sat out in the last game. And the Karnataka spin duo struggled in this game. Gowtham came into bowl in the 4th over and conceded a couple of boundaries before his spin partner gave a couple of sixes after a good start in his first over.

Gopal did get the wicket of Prithvi Shaw but he was struck for another couple of sixes in his second over. Gowtham conceded 16 runs in his second over as he ended with figures of 0/27 in his 2 overs.

The spinners bowled just four overs and conceded 53 runs. Hence, it was an off-day for the Rajasthan spinners.
