Most expensive Indian bowler had a horrible IPL
Yet another wicket-less spell for Jaydev Unadkat today - his seventh in 15 matches in #VIVOIPL 2018. Got to feel for the lad! #KKRvRR

How could RR throw away this game?
One can still figure out why ABD retired, but how RR could not keep pace with RRR is baffling. #IPL2018

Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy has been questionable
Imagine sending Binny over Gowtham who has the highest strike rate this IPL... and RR needed sixes bs. #RajasthanRoyals

Stuart Binny is the target of Twitterati
RT if you do not remember even a single match winning inning from Sir Stuart Binny in 11 seasons of IPL.

Binny is yet to find a purpose in RR's XI
Binny came, Binny went. Nothing different, business as usual for him. #CaptaincyFail #KKRvsRR
