While the criticism continues to grow over the super decisions of Rajasthan Royals over the decisions against Delhi Capitals, even Axar Patel admitted that he was quite surprised that RR Yashsvi Jaiswal did not send on the bat.
Jaiswal was one of the two standout doughs next to Nitish early in a collision of April 16, but both were overlooked in favor of Riyana Parag and Shimron Hetmeyer during super over. DC Skipper Axar Patel, who spoke at a press conference after the match, revealed that he and his team expected Jaiswal to come out for great first.
However, he acknowledged that things eventually worked in favor of DC.

“Hetmyer couldn’t connect in the match … So I felt that Jaiswal and Riyan went out. But it worked well for us,” Axar Patel said.
He chased 188 against DC, it was Jaiswal’s 51 OFF 37 and Rana’s 51 OFF 28, which carried most of the RR launch efforts. The rest of the Royals, including Parag and Hetmeyer, did not provide support – with Parago released only for 8 and Hetmeyer Unable to complete the game while death.
Yet RR decided to go with Parag and Hetmeyer as his first selection dough for Super Over against Mitchell Starc, while Jaiswal was set as the third dough.
Even after each gained one limit, Parag and Hetmeyer failed to handle the deadly bowling oldc and managed to score only 11 runs.
In response to the quiet and clinical duo DC Kl Rahul and Tristan Stubbs slightly chased the target down and seal the victory with two balls to save.
