This is Rajasthan’s third win in nine games as they are now placed seventh in the league table above wooden spooners Royal Challengers Bangalore even though a play-off qualification looks a long shot as of now. @ BCCI
6 /13
Rajasthan Royals, who were in a must-win situation, raced to 39 in 3.3 overs but Rahane (12 off 12 balls) departed early off leg-spinner Rahul Chahar, who was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 29. @ BCCI

Credit should also be given to Sanju Samson for his whirlwind 35 off 19 balls that set the pace and enabled Smith to anchor the innings in the manner only he can. @ BCCI

Riyan’s composure also helped even though Chahar and the seasoned Jasprit Bumrah (1/21 in 4 overs) bowled well at the back end but the home team showed enough firepower. @ BCCI

Gopal could have got rid of De Kock off the last ball of the over, but Jofra Archer dropped a difficult chance at long on. @ BCCI
