PBKS, who finished eighth in the IPL 2023, posted 187/5 after being asked to bat first at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Jistesh Sharma scored 44 off 28, while Sam Curran and Shah Rukh Khan scored unbeaten 49 (31) and 41 (23) runs respectively. Navdeep Saini picked three wickets for 40 runs for RR.
In reply, RR lost Jos Buttler for a duck again. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal (50 off 36) and Devdutt Padikkal (51) hit a fifty each to keep Rajasthan on the track. Later, Shimron Hetmyer (46 off 28) and Riyan Paraga (20 off 12) partnered for 32 runs off 22 balls, leaving Rajasthan Royals (RR) in need of nine from the last over.
Tensions brewed as Dhruv Jurel and Treny Boult could collect only four from the first three balls from Rahul Chahar. However, Jurel slammed a six over long-off on the fourth delivery to seal the deal for his team. RR are now fifth on the ten-team IPL 2023 points table.
