RR vs KKR Player of the Match: Yuzvendra Chahal

 

In a very tight selection, Yuzvendra Chahal was adjudged Player of the Match ahead of his teammate Jos Buttler, who even scored a hundred. But Chahal's magical over in which he got four wickets which included that of the settled and raging Shreyas Iyer as well, was just enough to weigh in his favour. In total, he finished with a five-wicket haul, his first-ever fifer, and the best IPL figures in his career. He finished with figures of 5-40 from his four overs

RR vs KKR Highlights

 

Obed McCoy bowled a brilliant last over to take two wickets and conceded only three runs to defend 11 off it and win the game by 7 runs for Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders. 

 

But the match was set up by Yuzvendra Chahal who picked four wickets in an over including a hat-trick and reduced the Knight Riders from 178-4 to 180-8. A few big hits from Umesh Yadav in the 18th over, got KKR close as they needed just 18 of the last two and then eventually 11 off the last over. 

 

Kolkata Knight Riders got the chase to a flyer courtesy of brilliant batting by Aaron Finch and Shreyas Iyer both of whom scored 58 and 28 respectively to take KKR to 178-4 at the end of the 16th over, needing just 40 of the last four before Chahal picked both Iyers, Shreyas and Venbkatesh alongside Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins in one over to break the Knight Riders' back. 

 

Earlier in the evening, Jos Buttler scored his second century of the season and was helped by a great finish from Shimron Hetmyer to take the Royals to 217-5 at the end of their 20 overs.

Ball 3   Single to the leg side as it was a slower yorker and Umesh will now have the batting to do

Chahal is into the attack 

 

Ball 1  Review has been taken here by Sanju Samson as Chahal hits the pads of Nitish Rana who went for a switch hit and the umpire said not out after a loud appeal

Ball 3   Six!! This time he takes the ariel rout and goes over deep mid-wicket and hits a six

Ball 5   Single to deep mid-wicket by Iyer 

 

Ball 6   Wicket!! Finally, the wicket as Chahal gives the ball some more air, and Rana was lured into hitting it in the air and managed to only get it to Jos Buttler at long-on. That would be the third wicket of KKR and first for Chahl tonight.
