Despite Rajasthan Royals putting up 200-plus runs on the board, a win wasn’t guaranteed. But some brilliant leg-spin bowling by Yuzvendra Chahal put Kolkata Knight Riders’ chase in jeopardy at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday night.
Chasing RR’s 217-5 thanks to Jos Buttler’s majestic 103, KKR were cruising at 178-4 after 16 overs with skipper Shreyas Iyer leading from the front with 85 off 51 balls. However, Chahal, who had conceded 38-1 in his first three overs, bowled a magical last over that brought RR back in the game. RR eventually won by seven runs.
