Rajasthan Royals won their third game of this year’s IPL as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in a nail biter by 5 wickets. Hyderabad batted first and managed to score 158 runs with help of Manish Pandey’s 54 runs and David Warner’s 48 run knock.
Priyam Garg and Kane Williamson also contributed with their quickfire innings. In reply, Rajasthan Royals were first reduced to 78 for 5 but later on, the heroics of Indian domestic stars Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia led Rajsthan Royals to a remarkable victory.
Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag helped RR snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
“I think that (pitches slowing down) sort of suits our bowling attack… tonight, some of our decisions at the top of the mark just weren’t there and we probably bowled the wrong ball at times,” said Warner after the match.
“There are a lot of positives from this game for us and we will take that on into the next game. As these wickets get tired out, we need to plan how to approach the first six overs and through the middle and then obviously assess our bowling.”
“We have done it in the past where we have held him (Rashid Khan) back and obviously these two guys (Parag and Tewatia) played exceptionally well and obviously there was a dropped chance out there which we try to take every day of the week but that’s what happens in the game of cricket,” said Warner.
