With just two losses RR should feel encouraged that so far they have performed well inspite of the limitations of the team.In fact as they meet stronger teams they could find that inspite of their best efforts every time falling marginally short as happened against MI & KKR and end up on the losing side.Only if some of the top players give an inspired performance much above their potential together with some shrewed game plan can take them into the semis.For instance Owais Sha, Hodge etc. should be held back to the extent possible facing Murali to the minimum if not totally avoidable and so on.
