That's it from this game as the Sunday double header comes to an end. The first match was an easy win for Gujarat Titans while the second game was a thriller. Two contrasting games to round off the weekend as the IPL points table is wide open with no team officially out of the tournament. Do join us back for tomorrow's game between KKR and PBKS live from Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Stick around for more cricketing action across the globe in our network. 

For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AkshayaKrishna Polya, and Anirudh Modi alongside scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!  
Glenn Phillips (Player of the Match): "Thank You very much. The situation could have gone either way and thankfully it went our way. We prepared well and got the result. Today it was fantastic as we got over the line and happy I could contribute to the team. The dismissal was a slot ball that should have been put away. So, I was disappointed to say the least. But with 17 needed, I thought I left something out there. But Samad was magnificent and we got lucky with the no ball in the end. I am happy and chuffed that we got over the line. Thank you very much."  
Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain): "Yeah the emotions turned quite quickly. But nice for our team to get over the line in such a close game, happy for Samad, and our batters, everyone contributed, very pleased with the boys.

The target was quite steep, but we knew with a quick outfield like this we could score more than expected, we had that back of our mind, Abhishek was superb to start off, then Tripathi, Klaas and Samad came into play, excellent from Phillips too.

I wish I could give you the answers because I certainly do not know. You've got to train and put yourself under pressure in the nets but it's such a difficult position to bat it so it's important to utilize your potential, play high risk cricket and that's where the technique comes in."

Abdul Samad (Sunrisers Hyderabad): "When I went into bat it wasn't easy for me. Phillips gave the injection to us. Even when we batted in the powerplay, it was going fine for us. When I crossed the batter and while reaching the non-striker's end, the umpire flexed his arm and showed that it was a no-ball. So I asked Jansen to cross over again. Umpire said that only a run will be given and hence I didn't touch the crease at the other end and crossed over Jansen again. With four needing off the last ball it was a free-hit as well. I just wished the bowler to miss the yorker and once he missed I knew I got this covered. Need to continue this momentum going forward." 
Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "To be very honest, we can never never feel that the game is won. But that no ball made us realize that, we played really well with the bat on this bat but the credit has to go to them the way they batted.

I think if it's a no ball you have to bowl it again, and I think Sandeep knows what to do. Yes, there's a moment when you feel guilty but it's all part of the game. We were happy with the target that we posted, but we can only be happy when we win the game and we are not happy right now.

I don't know if we could have scored more. Each and every stage of the tournament we have to play our best cricket and that's what we aim to do."
11:08 PM IST: What a game we have had here in Jaipur as Sunrisers Hyderabad have come out of nowhere to win this game by 4 wickets. It is their highest successful chase in IPL and they will feel they have got out of jail here. Rajasthan had the game won but Sandeep Sharma bowling the no ball has cost them as Abdul Samad hits the winning runs. SRH are still in the hunt for the playoffs and a golden opportunity lost for Rajasthan.  

Chasing an improbable 215 for the win, Sunrisers got off to a decent start courtesy of their impact player Anmolpreet Singh who scored 33 off 25 balls. Abhishek Sharma scored a brilliant 55 off 34 balls. Rahul Tripathi scored 47 off 29 balls. Heinrich Klaasen looked good while he was there for his 26 off 12 balls. Glenn Phillips brought SRH back in the game with his breath-taking 25 off 7 balls. Abdul Samad finished things off in style as he stayed unbeaten on 17* off 7 balls as SRH got the victory off the final ball with 4 wickets in hand. 

Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers for Rajasthan Royals with figures of 4/29 in 4 overs. A wicket to Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldip Yadav who was taken to the cleaners. It was a tough day for the bowlers to say the least as over 400 runs were scored today. 

Earlier in the game, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bat first. It was the Yashasvi Jaiswal show initially in the powerplay as he scored a quickfire 35 off 18 balls. After his departure, it was the Jos Buttler show as he scored an amazing 95 off 59 balls as the Boss got his form back. He was ably supported by skipper Sanju Samson who scored an unbeaten 66* off 38 balls. Hetmyer was unbeaten on 7* off 5 balls as Rajasthan ended with 214/2 in 20 overs. 

A wicket apiece for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen as only two wickets fell in the innings. The others went for runs as it was the Jos Buttler show that flattened the SRH bowlers. But it did not prove to be enough in the end. 

So, a win for SRH over RR as RR have now lost 5 of their last 6 games and the table is open for the teams. This is turning out to be a cracking tournament to say the least. Stick around for the presentation ceremony.

6 SIXXX!!!! What an anti-climax for Sandeep Sharma and Rajasthan Royals. The celebrations were a bit early and Sandeep has to pay a huge price. Free hit. Fuller-length delivery outside off. Misses the yorker by some inches and Samad gets underneath it quite comfortably. Sits down on one knee and hammers it straight over the head of the bowler for a match-winning maximum. Samad's confidence will be sky-high while Sandeep Sharma might not be able to show his face now. Samson puts his head down!! SRH make a heist from nowhere and this is the highest-ever chase at Jaipur.
It's a no ball. Sandeep Sharma has overstepped here. DRAMA! 
OH DEAR! SRH HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY HERE! The God of Luck smiles brightly on them! One shot, one opportunity, this is everything Samad would have ever wanted, one moment, to capture or let it slip! 
19.6 S Sharma to A Samad
NB WICKETT!!!! What a finish! Sandeep Sharma has done it. Scratch that!!!! Hooters go up!! No man! Sandeep Sharma oversteps and it's a no ball. The match is yet to finish. Low full toss outside off. Samad gets the toe end on the lofted stroke downtown. Plays it flat and straight into the hands of Buttler at long-off. SRH survive one more ball. Free hit coming! Meanwhile, it looks like they didn't run there.
JUST A SINGLE! 5 needed to win! Super over alert? The sirens sure are on! 4 needed!
