Some of the Rajasthan Royals squad members had to face the brunt of sting pong as the players between themselves were involved in a game of table tennis. Rajasthan Royals head coach Paddy Upton during a video shared by the RR official twitter handle was seen telling the rules about the game. First, the RR players were involved in a Table Tennis match. The team winning got an opportunity to smash the ball with full force and hit the losing team members who had to remove their shirt.
Taking to their Twitter handle, Rajasthan Royals shared the video with a caption, “This loss was a rather stinging one! Watch the boys take one (read a few) for the team in this game of sting pong!.” Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals are literally hanging on the edge in Vivo IPL 12 after winning only 4 matches out of 11 matches in the tournament so far.
This loss was a rather stinging one! ?

The Pink brigade will miss the services of Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer from today’s encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Jofra Archer had been the best bowler for RR by far in the tournament and his absence will surely leave a void which will be difficult to fulfil. On the other hand, Ben Stokes had a pretty ordinary tournament so far and has managed to score just 123 runs in 9 matches.
Meanwhile, his bowling was pretty ordinary as well. However given his international experience and the ability to perform in crunch situations, Rajasthan Royals would have definitely wanted them in their squad for the final 3 must win clashes.
The matchup between Rajasthan Royals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad is expected to be an exciting encounter. Most of the matches this season has gone down to the wire and we might see yet another humdinger between the two teams. Chennai Super Kings is currently at the top of the points table with 8 victories in 12 matches while Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are at 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.
