Rajasthan Royals stunned the Delhi Capitals and eked out a narrow 2-run win against the Punjab Kings in their latest IPL 2021 encounter on 21st Sept. At the start of the 2nd innings, the Kings looked to be the pitch’s favorites.

As the match moved towards its end, it seemed as if the Kings were going to have a comfortable win. Still, Kartik Tyagi from Rajasthan Royals showed a phenomenal performance and bowled a fantastic final over that restricted the Kings to 183 in 20 overs.

With an amazing win over the PBKS, Rajasthan Royals have moved to the fifth position in the IPL points table with 8 points while Punjab Kings are still at 7th place. If Punjab needs to stay in the game and make it to the Playoffs, they will have to gear up their performance and win the upcoming games.

The top players of the Rajasthan Royals – Jaiswal, Lomror, Livingstone, and Lewis gave the team a good lead with 4; ‘s and 6’s throughout the game. At the same time, Sanju Samson could not stay in the game for long and was dismissed by Porel and caught out by KL Rahul. Losing Samson was a significant loss for the team, but Jaiswal held the fort and was dismissed at 49 runs.

Earlier in the game, Punjab Kings had bowled out Rajasthan Royals for 185 in exactly 20 overs which seemed like an easy chase by the Punjab Kings. Yashaswi Jaiswal opened the match along with Lewis and was the top scorer with his fantastic shots for the Royals, while Mahipal Lomror contributed 43.

Left-arm Medium pacer Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami shared eight wickets between them for Rajasthan Royals,

Sakariya took Rahul in his over, and he was dismissed at 120/2, which was a much-needed advantage for the Royals. After the fall of Mayank, the team was a bit shaken up, and Tyagi added to the simmering with his epic over giving Royals the big win.

Let’s hear what the players have to say about this mind-blowing IPL match

Kartik Tyagi – Man of the match

“Feeling happy. I was injured during the India leg of IPL 2021, and when I recovered, the tournament got canceled. Very happy to get the chance today. I have spoken to seniors for the last few years. Everyone has said that games can change anytime. I knew I had the death-overs skills,” he says.

Sanju Samson

“Somewhere we had that fight left. We knew we had some special bowlers. Kept Mustafizur’s overs for the end. 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 had planned till the last batter. We were happy with our score; on this wicket, that was a good score. We are a better bowling/fielding team too. We could’ve won the game early if there weren’t drops early on.”

KL Rahul

“Tough one to swallow,” he says while putting on the orange cap. “We need to see how we can handle pressure better. It happened to the best in the game – a tough one to swallow that you haven’t learned from your previous mistakes. We bowled decent lengths in the first six. Unfortunately, that edge got it away from us. But we pulled this back nicely with the ball.”

After this nail-biting match, we bet the fans are super excited and are looking forward to seeing all that the UAE leg of IPL has in store for them.
