RR hilariously react to Scott Styris' IPL 2021 Prediction

The Rajasthan Royals are famous for their social media activity. Recently, former New Zealand cricketer Scott Stryis predicted the IPL 2021 Power Rankings and placed RR at the sixth position. 

In the brackets, he mentioned that RR could even finish higher depending on how many matches Chris Morris and Jofra Archer play in IPL 2021. However, the Jaipur-based franchise was seemingly not happy with the way Styris placed them at the sixth position. 

Only the top four teams make it to the playoffs in the IPL, and according to the Power Rankings by Scott Styris, RR may not qualify this year. 

RR’s Twitter admin preferred to give a hilarious reply to Styris about this. He took a scene from the Welcome movie, where Nana Patekar tried to control his anger.

“Control Uday, Control,” Rajasthan Royals meme’s subtitle read.

RR struggled in the previous IPL season

The Rajasthan Royals finished in the last position in IPL 2020. Despite having the likes of Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Steve Smith, and Jofra Archer in the team, RR finished eighth. 

It was not that the Jaipur-based franchise’s players were out of form. Jofra Archer won the MVP award, while Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, and Sanju Samson produced excellent performances. Even Rahul Tewatia stepped up and delivered the goods. 

However, the team combination never settled. The Indian fast bowlers did not receive consistent opportunities, and their poor execution allowed the other teams to hit big, thus taking the game away from the Royals at the crucial moments. 

The Royals have replaced Steve Smith with Sanju Samson as the captain this year. It will be interesting to see how Samson leads the Royals in IPL 2021. Since they have a star-studded squad, the chances that they finish higher than the sixth position are very high. RR will open their campaign versus the Punjab Kings on April 12.
