Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) hosted the Rajasthan Royals in a must-win game for both sides, as the league stages near its conclusion stage. After choosing to bowl first, the visitors bowled quite well as both of the KKR openers were snuffed out by Boult, thanks to two excellent catches. After that, Venkatesh Iyer as well as Captain Nitish Rana helped to stabilize the ship a little. After a sluggish start, Venkatesh Iyer broke free in the tenth over with two consecutive sixes off Ravichandran Ashwin. 

The home team were 76/2 at the midway point and would have anticipated a lofty total. Chahal, however, had other plans. He became the Indian Premier League's top wicket-taker by dismissing Rana during his very first over. In his second over, he went for 15, but he quickly recovered. Iyer and Thakur were dismissed in the course of four deliveries, and Rinku Singh, who was hitting well, holed out to a fielder in the deep. 

He finished with 4/25 after choking KKR with a leg spinner. In the final two overs, Sandeep Sharma produced two tight overs to prevent the Knight Riders from going over 150. Dot balls that the Kolkata Knight Riders consumed in excess might just come around and haunt the home team.

Taking a look at the Rajasthan Royals' chase of the KKR total

A player that makes you rest from life, Yashasvi Jaiswal is soon developing into this kind of generational talent. When Jaiswal began the chase by hitting two straight sixes from the first two balls, the game was gone after the first over. Jos Buttler departed for a duck but that didn’t hamper the momentum of the chase.

In order to earn the quickest fifty in IPL history, he then maintained the assault against Harshit Rana and struck Shardul Thakur over a hat-trick of fours. You read that right, he arrived there in 13 balls. And he achieved this by playing just cricket-related shots, which caused even the home crowd to get up and applaud in admiration of the child.

Sanju Samson contributed with a stroke-filled 48 as Rajasthan Royals completed the pursuit of the target with nearly 41 balls remaining. The main question for the Rajasthan Royals fans was when will they see Joe Root bat in the Indian Premier League having played two games and not getting the chance to bat even for a single ball.
