IPL match. Even RR batters struggled to score big. Yashasvi Jaiswal (10 off 6 balls), Jos Buttler (13 off 16 balls) and Sanju Samson (12 off 10 balls) were out soon.
Rajasthan were 48/3. Then, Riyan Parag came. Riyan’s 54 off 39 balls, with five 4s and three 6s, not only brought Rajasthan home but also helped him become the highest scorer in the tournament.
He surpassed Virat Kohli to flaunt the Orange Cap. His 40-run partnership with Ravichandran Ashwin stabilised the RR innings. For Rajasthan, Akash Madhwal was the top bowler, claiming 3 wickets in his 4 overs while conceding 20 runs.
Trent Boult, who took 3 wickets for 22 runs in 4 overs and destroyed Mumbai’s top order, was awarded the Player of the Match. With these three consecutive wins, Rajasthan Royals are now sitting right on top of the points table. On the other hand, with three back-to-back losses, Mumbai Indians are right at the bottom.Milestone Alert!
