IPL 2018: Teams that already look frail in certain areas
IPL 2018 started with a cliffhanger of a match between MI and CSK. The new season already looks so exciting with new team compositions.
Till now, 4 matches have been played and each team has tried to put their best foot forward to take the early advantage. However, some teams have already started looking fallible.
The weaknesses of teams have been exposed in their first games of the season. Let us have a look at the teams that will have to address their flaws going forward.
#3 Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals faced Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first encounter of the season. Both the teams faced a similar setback prior to the tournament. Both David Warner (captain of SRH) and Steve Smith (captain of RR) were banned from the ongoing season of IPL following the sandpaper saga.
However, the sandpaper gate affected RR more than anyone else. The team doesn't boast any big Indian names. RR owners invested big in foreign players. The team is heavily reliant on Ben Stokes, D Arcy Short, and Jofra Archer.
In the absence of Archer in the first game, the team lacked the X-factor. The batting disappointed big time. RR will hope that the foreign players come good for them in the upcoming games.
