Speaking about RR performance in Vivo IPL 2019, they started off the tournament with a defeat. One can blame the mankading incident for Rajasthan Royal loss, as Jos Butler got manakaded by R Ashwin, when he was batting well on 69. But apart from that Rajasthan has to work on their middle-order batting woes, because except Butler none of the batsmen showed character while chasing the target of 184 posted by KXIP.  The team is expected to perform in a better way when they have players like Ben Stokes, Jaydev Unadkat and Jofra Archer.
