Rajasthan Royals have lost their first two games of IPL 2025. It is inevitable that Rahul Dravid will make some fine changes in the playing XI and go ahead with some technical moves. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two tactical changes Rahul Dravid must make for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.
1) Interchange batting slots of Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana
Nitish Rana has done well at No.3, and Riyan Parag was brilliant at No.4 in the last season. Surprisingly, they have played at alternate slots in the tournament till now.
Rana can make a good few overs against the spin bowlers while Riyan can do the task of anchoring the innings and finishing it well.
2) Rahul Dravid must make Rajasthan Royals open the bowling with Tushar Deshpande
Opening the bowling with Tushar Deshpande is one of the tactical changes Rahul Dravid must make for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Till now, the likes of Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana have opened the bowling for RR.
Tushar did well for CSK with the new ball last season. He could be used again for RR. Having Jofra for the middle overs might make better sense for the franchise.
