IPL 2021 Points Table after PBKS vs RR Match: Young pacer Kartik Tyagi’s last-over heroics guided Rajasthan Royals to a nail-biting two-run victory over Punjab Kings in their IPL game. This game was in Punjab’s hands and there was no way Rajasthan would have stolen it. But they did the unthinkable. And also, not to forget the brilliant fielding by Chetan Sakariya at short third man in the 19th over when he saved three crucial runs at death for his team. Punjab needed four runs in the last over but Tyagi conceded just one run and took two wickets to guide his team home.
