Sanju Samson played a blinder to counter the damage that Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya had done in the powerplay. Rajasthan Royals had lost both Jos Buttler and Yasahsvi Jaiswal and were able to score just four runs in the first three overs. However, Samson blasted 60 in 32 balls to bring RR right back in the chase. He first put up a 43-run stand off 34 balls for the third wicket with Devdutt Padikkal and then a 59-run stand that came in just 27 balls with Shimron Hetmyer for the fifth. Hetmyer has kept RR’s chase alive after Samson fell to GT’s debutant spinner from Afghanistan Noor Ahmad. RR lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, with the latter falling for a duck and it was seam that dominated the powerplay early on in the innings. RR restricted GT to 177/7 with David Miller providing the late push. GT looked set for a score close to 200 when Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill went big guns after the powerplay but they lost steam after the former’s dismissal. Miller was dropped early in his innings and made RR pay by scoring 46 off 30 balls.
