One should learn from Gujarat Titans how to lose a won match. The work that Gujarat did against Kolkata Knight Riders, Gujarat repeated the same feat against Rajasthan. The team whose run rate for 12 overs was less than 6 runs per over, which had to score 111 runs in the last 8 overs, still won the match. Rajasthan showed a wonderful game to defeat Gujarat, but somewhere Hardik Pandya's team also made many such mistakes which were no less than a crime. Captain Pandya himself was at the forefront of this.

Hardik Pandya made not one or two but 3-3 big mistakes in this match. In cricket, these mistakes are termed crimes. Be it batting, bowling or captaincy, Hardik Pandya was seen harming his own team on every front. Let us tell you how the captain of the defending champion team wrote the script for his team's defeat.

Pandya took the match lightly
Hardik Pandya made the biggest mistake as a captain. The Gujarat captain confessed after the match that when Rajasthan Royals had a very low score in the powerplay, he felt that now Gujarat's victory was certain. He took the match lightly but in the end, Sanju Samson and Hetmyer cleared Pandya's misunderstanding. The game and war should not be taken lightly until it is over and Pandya made the same mistake. As a result, his team lost the match.

Bowlers not used properly
Hardik Pandya also did not rotate the bowlers properly. When the Rajasthan batsmen were raining fours and sixes, Hardik Pandya could not use his bowlers properly. Only 2 overs were made from Mohit Sharma while he spent only 7 runs in it. Apart from this, Pandya also gave the last over to debutant spinner Noor Mohammad. There also bets could be played on Mohit Sharma or Alzarri Joseph. Alzarri Joseph may have proved to be expensive in the match but he could have stopped Hetmyer in the last over as he has played a lot of cricket with him.
