What went wrong: Death bowling has been Rajasthan Royal’s bugbear throughout the season, and once they conceded 61 runs the last four overs, they never looked like regaining the momentum. The inclusion of Rusty Theron in place of James Faulkner didn’t prove to be a smart pick.
What went right: Zaheer Khan has almost been the forgotten man of Indian cricket. While he’s not surfaced on a cricket field for almost a year, the veteran left-armer has also spent most of IPL8 on the bench, recuperating from his latest injury.

Ajinkya Rahane on Saturday credited his mental preparation as the key to his success in Tests, ODIs and the ongoing Indian Premier League, in which he is the leading run-getter till date.
“It’s about mental adjustment as the technique remains the same. I focus on my mental aspect. It’s important how you assess the ground and wicket conditions and adjust quickly,” the 26-year-old Rahane, who is representing Rajasthan Royals in the IPL-8, told reporters in Mumbai.
