Sometimes, all a team needs is just one game to get back on track. For Rajasthan Royals, that was the game against Mumbai Indians on Saturday in Vivo IPL-12.
Here was a team that was probably one loss away from elimination, playing without its best performer and saw a change in captaincy hours before the match. And it was up against a side that had won four of its last five games.
Yet, Royals outclassed Mumbai Indians — without Jos Buttler, their leading scorer for the last two seasons, and under Steve Smith, who took over from Ajinkya Rahane.
Royals would be hoping for another show like that on Monday, when they take on Delhi Capitals.
