Reasons for Rajasthan Royals’ collapse in CLT20 Final

Here are the key reasons for Rajasthan Royals’ failure in the CLT20 final:

Playing away from home:

Rajasthan Royals got a golden chance of playing all their group stage matches at their fortress of Jaipur. The Royals army didn’t let any visiting team snatch even a single match at this venue. After clinching victory in all their group stage matches at Jaipur, the team got another outstanding chance of playing the semifinal against one of the favourites Chennai Super Kings at their home soil – Jaipur.

But at the same time, the team was so acclimatized to the comfort of playing at Jaipur that in the CLT20 final encounter, they were unable to adapt to the prevailing conditions at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi and lost to the IPL 2013 champions Mumbai Indians by a margin of 33 runs.
