Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has slammed Rajasthan Royals (RR) after they were beaten by Mumbai Indians (MI) by eight wickets after putting up an inept effort.
MI put RR in to bat, and they were reduced to 90 for 9 in their 20 overs. They then let MI dominate with the bat, and the chase was completed in 8.2 overs.
After analyzing RR’s horror show, Gambhir came to the conclusion that the franchise deserved to be eliminated because of the way he performed against MI.
“If you play this kind of cricket, this is what you deserve. You can’t expect to qualify for the playoffs if you play your worst game at the crunch moment. This is where it matters the most and comes down to how much mental strength you have. This is where you can differentiate boys from men,” Gambhir said
MI demonstrated there were no demons in the pitch by batting as they did, according to Gambhir, a former India opener. The chasm between the teams was clear in Sharjah, according to him.
“You should never judge the surface until both teams have played on it. Mumbai Indians made it look so easy and it looked like a very good wicket. That just shows how much difference there is in the quality of both the attacks. They (RR) didn’t look like the side that was in the race for qualification. No way,” Gambhir further added.

RR’s Evin Lewis led the team in scoring with 24 runs, while no other batter reached the 20-run mark. Nathan Coulter-Nile and James Neesham led MI with 4 for 14 and 3 for 12 scores, respectively.
