'Was probably out but there's still a lot to play for': rr bowling coach shane bond
Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India]April 27 (Ani): Rajasthan Royals (RR) is still technical in the play -off match, but with 14 points that will probably not be enough in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the bowling coach Shane Bond hopes the team can use their remaining five games to build a strong foundation for next season. “We’re probably out of the tournament, but that doesn’t mean there’s not much to play for,” Bond said before their match against Gujarat Titans, as quoted from ESPNCRICINFO. “We want to make sure that we finish the season and keep playing,” he added. “For individuals, there is a lot to play in. For next season, to stay with the franchise, there is always the case. The royalty intends to break a loss of five games, with three of the defeats in charge during chases during chases, he lacked, despite only needed nine runs from the final, and once only 18 from 12 balls needed. “The last three games, perhaps we should have chased and won. overs played very well and were in charge in some games and probably came into positions where we should have won. So you have to give the opposition credit. They were good enough in those now moments to go on top of us and win the games. I think that’s what hurts, “he noted. After their seventh loss two nights ago, Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming showed the auction strategy as the root of his team’s struggle. Bond believes that Rajasthan’s issues were not due to a poor auction, but rather because of the most important moments they could not worked through, “Bond said, as quoted from ESPNCRICINFO.” I think you are looking at it too, maybe at the end of an auction cycle. You are watching the last three year cycle for Rajasthan, it has been a wonderful cycle. We made a final, made the playoffs and were in conflict all the time, “he added.” It’s not an ideal start (after the new auction cycle), but then at the end of the year, that’s what you do. You are looking at your group, look at who is performed, how to make your improvements and changes. I think every team does, “he noted.” In terms of whether it was a poor auction or not, I don’t really think about it too much, to be honest. I’m not really involved in the process, but what you would say is that I think we played a good cricket, we just weren’t good enough. As I said, if we grab some important moments, it may look very good on the table and we don’t have this conversation, “he said. With regular captain Sanju Samson still recovering from an abdominal injury, Riyan Parag will continue to lead the side.” Which hurt us a little. We are a pretty young team. We are an inexperienced team. Riyan – I know he has been in the IPL for a while, but he is very young to come in and lead the team. He actually did a good job. We are very happy with what he does, “he added.” Noticed. We will go with two people who have gained that captaincy experience next season, and I think it will be good for the team in the long run, “he said. (Ani) first published: 27 Apr 2025, 23:25 IST
