IPL 2022, PBKS vs RR Highlights: Rajasthan Royals aim to return to winning ways against inconsistent Punjab Kings.
Excellent 19th over by Arshdeep as the match goes to the last over. Both RR and PBKS will have that Mumbai vs Gujarat match in the back of their minds. Chahar starts with a wide. Next ball is hit for a 6 by Hetmyer. Almost done for RR. Scores are tied. That's it. It's all over. RR win by 6 wickets
The penultimate over now and this should be easy for Rajasthan. Two runs off the first two balls. Arshdeep is constantly nailing his yorkers and Rajasthan are getting only singles now. And gone. Full toss and Padikkal departs. Outstanding over. RR 182/4 after 18.5 overs.
Rabada in to bowl the 18th and Padikkal pulls, gets a boundary. Good show of intent finally. Takes a single to give the strike back to Hetmyer. Shout for a caught behind and Punjab review. Nope. Hetmyer is fine. Next ball is pulled for a sixxxx!!!! What a hit!!! Four more to end the over. RR 179/3 after 18 overs
Arshdeep in to bowl the 17th and that's a four by Hetmyer. Goes again and gets four more. Almost carbon copy of the previous boundary. RR 163/3 after 17 overs
Slog overs time. Rabada will bowl the first of them. That's a four by hetmyer. Expertly picks the gap and that's raced away. Padikkal really needs to start showing a bit more intent. Might be a run out. No. Hetmyer is well in. RR 151/3 after 16 overs
Arshdeep in to bowl the 15th. Shout of catch it and that has fallen just short of the fielder. Huge shot next and this time Jaiswal holes out and Livingstone takes the catch. RR 141/3 after 14.2 overs
We are back after the strategic time out and Chahar to bowl the 14th. Jaiswal hits a switch hit for a four. That is what this man can do when he is on song. Padikkal joins in and hits a guided shot for four more. Glorious timing. RR 140/2 after 14 overs
Rishi Dhawan in to bowl the 13th and is greeted by a four by Jaiswal. He is in some nick tonight. Another inventive shot by Jaiswal to help this ball to another boundary. Another!!! What a brutish shot, evades the fielder and raced towards the boundary. RR 127/2 after 13 overs
Chahar back in the attack and starts with 2 wides. Padikkal is trying to hit shots but it's mostly mistimed. You have to wonder why Hetmyer wasn't sent out in place of him. That's 50 for Jaiswal. RR 113/2 after 12 overs
Sandeep Sharma comes in to bowl the 11th, bowls a wideish delivery to start and is promptly hit for a four. And another one follows. Four more for Jaiswal. RR 106/2 after 11 overs
Time for the 10th over. Livingstone will bowl this one. Punjab have managed to pull Rajasthan back a little bit after that explosive start. Very good over. Just 6 from it. RR 95/2 after 10 overs.
That's out. Rishi Dhawan strikes in his first ball of the second over. Sanju tries to hit tis one over long on and is caught by Rabada. RR 85/2 after 8.1 overs
Rahul Chahar brought into the attack now as PBKS will hope he replicates the RR spinners in the first innings. 5 runs off the first 5 balls but the 6th ball is hit for a maximum by Jaiswal. RR 85/1 after 8 overs
Rishi Dhawan brought into the attack and is greeted by a delicious cover drive by Samson for a four. Just 2 off the next 5 balls. 7 off this one. RR 74/1 after 7 overs.
Last over in the powerplay and Samson plays a glorious shot but a man in the boundary means he'll get only one. Just 2 runs off the first 3 balls. Exactly why Arshdeep was introduced. That's a nick off the outside edge and raced towrads the boundary. The next is also a four. This time, it's all Sanju's control as he pierces the gap between two fielders. RR 67/1 after 6 overs
Sandeep Sharma to bowl the 5th and Sanju Samson straight off the mark with a four. Jaiswal continues te boundary hitting and slaps one over the bowler's head for a four. RR 56/1 after 5 overs.
Huge SIXXX by Buttler to start the fourth over. That has gone out of the ground. We need a new ball now. Next ball is sliced for a four. Rabada absolutely taken on by the Englishman. Another four as Buttler scoops one over the keeper as it gets a glove to it. Hits a huge one again but gets no distance. 2 runs. The next ball, four more. He is mauling Rabada. And he's gone!!! What a catch by Rajapaksa!!! Rabada gets his man. RR 46/1 after 5 overs
Sandeep Sharma in to bowl the 3rd over. He'll be hpoing this goes better than his last. Just 1 from the first 3 balls until that shot by Buttler that yields a four. Ideal start for the Royals. RR 26/0 after 3 overs
Kagiso Rabada in to bowl the second over. What a shot by Buttler in the 4th ball for a boundary. Very very innovative shot. Makes it look so easy. RR 20/0 after 2 overs.
Jaiswal and Buttler are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Sandeep Sharma will open the attack. That's a four by Jaiswal to start proceedings. And a 6 to follow. Huge start for the Royals. RR 14/0 after 1 over
