RR vs SRH LIVE, IPL 2021 LIVE Score: SRH won toss, opts to field

Asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals was given a blow in the third over of the innings as Rashid Khan had Yashasvi Jaiswal (12) adjudged leg-before wicket. Skipper Sanju Samson next joined Jos Buttler in the middle and the duo Rajasthan’s score to 42/1 at the end of the sixth over.

Buttler and Samson continued to frustrate Hyderabad bowlers and in the process, the right-handed Buttler brought up his half-century in the 13th over of the innings. Both batsmen continued with their carnage and SunRisers bowlers had no answers to stop the duo.

The 150-run stand for the second wicket finally came to an end in the 17th over as Vijay Shankar sent Samson (48) back to the pavilion, bringing Riyan Parag to the crease. Buttler registered his century off just 56 balls and he brought up the feat in the 17th over of the innings.

In the final three overs, Parag (15*), Buttler (124), and David Miller (7*) managed to add 48 more runs to the total and as a result, Rajasthan registered a score of more than the 215-run mark. Buttler was dismissed by Sandeep Sharma in the penultimate over, but Parag remained unbeaten.

Pitch Report, RR vs SRH LIVE, IPL 2021 LIVE Score: 

Ian Bishop reckons: “We’re on the center pitch, and there was another day game here where 171 was scored and it wasn’t enough. Even though it is a used pitch, there is a covering of grass. In between and amongst that there are some worn patches that will allow the seamers to grip, or if it hits the grass it would slide. From the other end, the spinners too will get a lot of grip. On a good length, you can take pace off it. Overall, it is a good surface and you need to get over 170. Chasing is still the thing to do”.
