Rajasthan showed tremendous hunger and desire in beating an under-par Mumbai side to keep their hopes alive in T20 on Sunday. Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy and usage of his bowlers was great to see and it just shows that there is room for strategy in the shortest format. Rahane used his understanding of the Wankhede pitch shrewdly by using Jaydev Unadkat and Jofra Archer in the middle overs to choke Mumbai. Rahane saw couple of balls from Dhawal Kulkarni bouncing a bit more than normal and of course corrected his strategy to such an extent that both his spinners, Krishnappa Gowtham and Shreyas Gopal did not need to complete their quota of overs.
