Rajasthan Royals (RR) made a winning comeback against Punjab Kings (PBKS) as they beat the Mayank Agarwal-led side by six wickets. Yashaswi Jaiswal was the star for the Royals with his 41-ball 68. Shimron Hetmyer did the finishing with a brisk knock of 31* off 16 balls. However, the match was not as easy as it looks from the scorecard.
Although Rajasthan got off to a flying start in their chase of 190, Punjab bowlers did pull the things back with some wickets in the middle. Arshdeep Singh was the most impressive bowler for Punjab as the left-arm quick took the important wicket of Jaiswal. He then took out Padikkal at the death to keep Punjab in the hunt. He backed his two wickets with an economical spell as Arshdeep only conceded 29 runs in his four overs. His 3-run over in the 19th over was the highlight of his brilliant spell.
As Rajasthan notched up their seventh win and Punjab’s Arshdeep Singh impressed yet again with his bowling, Twitter users shared their thoughts about the game. Have a look at the reactions here:
