Rajasthan Royals in a pivotal chase h just lost Jaiswal and ir skipper Samson in a couple of overs and were in a tricky spot with 79/3. But Riyan Parag wasn't conscious of situation and went for a big hit in 12th over trying to hit Shahbaz Ahmed against spin and got caught on boundary by Abhishek Sharma leaving his side in a massive pickle.

"Seriously. So much talent if you don't have temperament it's not going to work”, said Sunil Gavaskar during commentary.

Riyan Parag's dismissal came at worst time for RR as y completely lost momentum of chase and were from that point on playing catchup throughout innings.

Despite, Dhruv Jurel's valiant knock of 56*, Royals lost by a big margin 36 runs and Pat Cummins led Sunrisers Hyderab vanced to ir third IPL final. 

This marks a disappointing end to RR's season which started with a lot of promise but completely unraveled in second half of campaign as y lost five out of ir last six games. Overall, Royals will be left disappointed by ir season as y should've done better in second half.
