Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid didn’t hold back after his team suffered their 10th defeat of IPL 2025. His remarks on the bowling unit were sharp and direct. Speaking about the bowling performance of RR, Rahul Dravid expressed deep frustration, stating that the bowlers lacked execution and control. “We failed to bowl to our plans. We lost too many runs in the final overs,” he said during the post-match press conference.
In their recent match, Punjab Kings scored 219 runs. Rajasthan bowlers lost more than 70 runs in the final five overs. Dravid called the death bowling “unacceptable.”
He also pointed out a lack of discipline and adaptability. “We didn’t adjust to the pitch or the match situation,” he said. He added that the same mistakes had happened multiple times this season.
Dravid urged his players to take responsibility. “There’s no point talking about potential now. We need results,” he stated firmly.
He expressed disappointment with the team’s attitude on the field. “You can’t win matches without intensity. We didn’t show any fight,” he added. Dravid hasn’t lost hope. He said the team has a chance to bounce back by improving execution and staying focused.
Fans question the team’s strategy. Social media buzzed with reactions after the game, with many supporting Dravid’s honest take. Rajasthan Royals remain near the bottom of the points table. They now face an uphill battle to keep their playoff hopes alive.
With the IPL 2025 season nearing its end, the Rajasthan Royals find themselves in a tough spot. Rahul Dravid’s blunt and accurate criticism expresses the desperation in the camp. The bowlers must wake up, tighten their execution, and show more intent on the field. Salvaging the campaign depends on that. The journey to the playoffs looks daunting. A change requires discipline, grit, and concentration.
