Lucknow: In a thrilling encounter at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Rajasthan Royals (RR) showcased their prowess yet again, securing their fourth consecutive win in the TATA IPL 2024. Led by solid half-centuries from captain Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel, RR chased down a challenging target set by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with ease, winning the match by seven wickets.
The bowlers, spearheaded by Sandeep Sharma, staged an impressive comeback after a formidable partnership between KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda, restricting LSG to 196/5. Sandeep Sharma’s figures of 2/31 were instrumental in curbing the run flow and putting brakes on LSG’s innings.
Chasing 197, RR got off to a flying start with openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, laying a solid foundation with a brisk 60-run stand. However, LSG fought back, picking up quick wickets to apply pressure on the visitors. Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and captain Sanju Samson then steadied the ship with crucial contributions, guiding RR towards the target.
