IPL 2021: Rahul-Hooda efforts help PBKS set a gigantic total of 222 runs against RR, Sakariya bowls the best among RR bowlers

Mumbai’s Wankhede is host to some of the most ruthless hittings and strikings all over. It is moreover caller as the ‘heaven for batsmans’ for its friendliness towards hitting.

In the 4th match of the IPL, between newly renamed PUNJAB KINGS and newly appointed Captain Sanju Samson’s, Rajasthan Royals, witnessed some high-level bashings for the RAJASTHAN bowlers as Punjab Kings batsman’s dominated the game with their bats. Punjab Kings end their innings at 5 for 221 and set a monstrous target for RR to set, i.e. 222.

KL RAHUL scored a fantastic captain’s knock of 91 from 50 balls and was dismissed in a unique way as Rahul was caught on the fence by another Rahul i.e. Rahul Tewatia. The catch was terrific as he jiggle-juggled in the boundary ropes. Chetan Sakariya bowled the last over, and took 2 wickets in the last over, as he finished his 4 over quota with an excellent debut figure of 3 for 31.

In an experiment, Deepak Hooda was promoted to No. 4 and he made that experiment work in favor of the team. He smashed 6 sixes and 4 fours in his innings with a strike rate of 228. He scored 64 from 28 balls before his dismissal. Gayle played the second fiddle’s role in Rahul-Gayle’s partnership for the 1st wicket. Rajasthan’s big-money signing, Chris Morris took 2 wickets.

It was a mediocre night for Rajasthan fielders as they dropped few catches but two wonderful catches from Sakariya to dismiss Pooran for 0 and from Tewatia to dismiss skipper Rahul did some damage control.
