Rajasthan Royals (RR) return to the Sawai Mansingh stadium after a span of more than two years was a joyous occasion after beating Delhi Daredevils (DD) by 10 runs (DLS method). Batting first Rajasthan scored 153/5 in 17.5 overs before rain interrupted play and forced DD to chase 71 in six overs. After the match, Left-arm seamer Jaydev Unadkat revealed that the Royals were mentally prepared for the shortened game and hence were able to come up trumps on Wednesday.
“We found at about 11.45 pm that it will be a six-over game. Rains were coming on and off and the situation was tricky. The discussion in the dressing room was that we have to be ready. So being ready helped us when we went out to the field” he said after the match.
“The win at home was much-needed for us and the fans. Rajasthan is making a comeback after two years and it was important for us to prove a point- not just for ourselves but for everyone who is backing us. Hopefully, this win gives us the much-needed momentum and we will take it forward in the coming games” he added further.
