Match Details
Rajasthan Royals had posted a more than competitive total and LSG needed to get off to a good start to set the platform for the run-chase. 15 runs came off the first two overs as the openers got off to a start but Trent Boult brought RR roaring back into the game with wickets in back to back deliveries. While Quinton de Kock was holed out at cover-point, Ayush Badoni was trapped right in front by an incoming delivery from Trent Boult. He did take the review but it would have crashed onto the middle-stump.
LSG needed some semblance in the middle and out came the man in form Deepak Hooda who again looked in good touch and scored a beautiful half-century. KL Rahul was the 3rd man to go as Prasidh Krishna induced a false shot from his blade as LSG was staring down the barrel at 29/3. A partnership was needed for the Super Giants and it was provided by Hooda and Krunal Pandya. Hooda continued his rich vein of form and struck some exceptional shots while Krunal Pandya also got himself going.
