In the 30th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals (RR) put the brakes on the scoring before Rajat Bhatia sent KL Rahul packing with his slow-medium pacers.

After the first strategic time-out, Aaron Finch decided to get a move on and spanked new bowler Rajat Bhatia for a boundary, beating the long on fielder. Finch tried the same shot again, this time lofting the ball to clear the fielder in the deep but Ajinkya Rahane took a terrific diving catch, showing great athleticism and safe hands at the same time.The man of the moment, Pravin Tambe was brought on to the attack and the batsmen were cautious right away. Naman Ojha tried stepping down but the wily 42-year old stifled the batsmen to just four singles.

With KL Rahul, another set batsman departed and Hyderabad have a lot of catching up to do.
