Former cricketer and pundit Aakash Chopra listed the biggest headache of RR in IPL 2025. According to Chopra, it is the bowling unit, especially Jofra Archer, that is going to be a headache to solve for the pink squad.
RR had a terrible first game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, in which they lost by 44 runs. RR bowlers were tormented by the SRH batters to score one less than the highest total in IPL history. The worst was for Jofra Archer, who conceded 76 runs in just 4 overs, the most a bowler has conceded since the start of the tournament in 2008.
“Rajasthan’s problem…”: Aakash Chopra About the Biggest Headache of RR
Chopra pointed out that RR has a lesser number of overseas players in comparison to the other teams. He also wondered what Rajastha would do with Archer.
“My first point is, what will you do with Jofra, and what bowling attack will you play because that came under the scanner? Rajasthan’s problem is that they have six overseas players in total. Everyone has eight, and they have six. Among those six, they have two fast bowlers,” Chopra said (2:20).
“They played both in the last match. One conceded 76 runs in 4 overs. He bowled the most expensive spell in the tournament’s history. Fazalhaq Farroqi was played with him, and he too got hit. Everyone got hit, but when your overseas bowler gets hit so much, you wonder what you should do,” he added.
Playing Kwena Maphaka might be one option. But according to Chopra, it might not make much of an improvement over Archer.
The best Raajsthan Royalscan do is playing Wanindu Hasaranga who weren’t available for the match before.
