Punjab Kings stifled in mind boggling style to lose their Indian Premier League clash against Rajasthan Royals by two runs in Dubai. Pursuing 186 in the match all that appeared to be working out as expected for PBKS until the arid last over by Karthik Tyagi.
PBKS required only four to win off the last done with eight wickets close by. Kartik Tyagi (2/29), although, held his nerve in an electrifying way, yielding just one. Aiden Markram (26 not out) oversaw just one off the initial two balls, bringing Nicholas Pooran on strike. The left-hander got caught behind, attempting to get Tyagi down to third man.
With three runs were required off three balls, Deepak Hooda missed a full and wide outside off stump, strolling across to the off side. He was out next ball, edging a drive to Sanju Samson.
The last ball from Karthik was a full and wide delivery to Fabian Allen, which the hitter neglected to connect. It was an unprecedented end to what exactly was, generally, an uneven challenge, with the unfancied side winding up successful.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson showered acclaim on his bowlers after they pulled off a vehement triumph against Punjab Kings in Dubai on Tuesday.
With 10 needed off 15 balls, Rajasthan arranged an epic rebound after 20-year-old Kartik Tyagi defended four runs in the last finished. Sanju Samson expressed that the players had the conviction till the finish of the match which acquired them two vital points, impelling them to the fifth spot.
“Somewhere we had that fight left. We knew we had some special bowlers. Kept Mustafizur’s overs for the end,” he said.
Tyagi was confident with his yorkers, especially wide yorkers. Executed them well against the new batters. And we had top fielding plans for every batter, we have planned till the last batter,” he added.
Asked to bat first, Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave Rajasthan Royals a strong beginning before Mahipal Lomror took on the Punjab bowling attack. He scored 43 off only 17 balls to impel Rajasthan to 169 in 17.1 overs. However, a collapse in the lower middle order implied they oversaw just 185 runs.
PBKS were fabulous in the field also, pulling off some brilliant catches. Had it not been for the late fightback from PBKS, RR looked set to post a score more than 200.
PBKS’ last-over chaos implied Arshdeep Singh’s marvelous five-for and amazing endeavors from openers KL Rahul (49 off 33) and Mayank Agarwal (67 off 43) went to no end. A loss will hurt PBKS truly hard.
