Tuesday night’s IPL encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings was a textbook example of why one shouldn’t look away from a T20 match until the very last delivery is bowled. KL Rahul’s Punjab was well on course to begin the second phase of the Covid-hit tournament with a breezy win over the Royals but it weren’t meant to be. Despite a 120-run partnership between the skipper and opener Mayank Agarwal in the run chase, PBKS fell frustratingly short of the target of 186 posted earlier by Sanju Samson’s men. Requiring just four runs to win in the final over with eight wickets in the bank, young pacer Kartik Tyagi made a mockery of Punjab’s batting unit, sending shockwaves through the PBKS dugout that were felt far away on Twitter.
What was that? Wondered many. But hey if you happen to have missed one of the most exciting matches of this season thus far, we have you covered.
Here’s the Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings nail-biting clash explained through memes:
