3. Yuzvendra Chahal’s 4/17 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) locked horns with each other in match no. 4. Continuing his previous year’s form, Jos Buttler kicked off his innings in an explosive manner. Along with the veteran, Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson also looked impactful.
With their aggressive batting attitude, Royals amassed 203/5 in 20 overs. Pursuing the colossal total, SRH were banking on Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, and Glenn Phillips to shine with their bats. However, the Orange Army struggled from the beginning of their innings as Trent Boult wreaked havoc with his pace to dismiss Abhishek Sharma and Tripathi.
Taking his last year’s form ahead in this season, Chahal also took Harry Brook on the last delivery of his first over. After picking up the England batter, he continued his attacking bowling and got Mayank Agarwal’s wicket. The 32-year-old powered his team to a comprehensive 72-run victory with his 4-0-17-4 figures.
