Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 3 runs
That's it from this game! Lucknow lose their second match after winning three on the bounce. This win takes Rajasthan to the top of the points table. What a nail-biter this fixture was and expect some more on the way. We will be back on 11th April, Monday where Hyderabad will take on Gujarat. It's a battle between fire and ice. You don't want to miss that. That game will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but the build-up will begin well in advance. Make sure you tune in for that. Until then, adios!
Yuzvendra Chahal wins the Man of the Match award for his exceptional spell with the ball (4-0-41-4). He says, there was just a bad patch that he was going through earlier. Says, his main strength is his mind and he used it to focus it on getting back into the game. Further says, he is the happiest by taking Quinton de Kock’s wicket. Says, he does not think much about achieving records. Says, there won’t be much reels coming out anymore, with too many games around the corner.
Sanju Samson, the skipper of Rajasthan is up for a chat. He says that it feels good to be at the top of the table. Mentions that he was confident about Kuldeep Sen and he bowled very well. Tells that he saw him in Syed Mushtaq and he nails his wide yorkers. Informs that Trent Boult came to him and said that change of plans and just informed him that he will be bowling from 'round the wicket. Tells that Boult's skills are commendable. Laughs that conversations with Hetmyer are funny. Says that it's just about have you eaten, have you slept well and is he happy, that's it. Tells that he has a lot of experience and has a great cricketing sense and is doing the job for them. On asked about Ashwin's retired out, he says that it is just about being Rajasthan and different from others. Credits Chahal for bowling well and says that he is the greatest leg-spinner India has seen in the present.
Trent Boult is in for a quick chat. He says, it was a late call to bowl over the wickets to KL Rahul. Mentions, it was Jimmy Neesham who persuaded him for the same. Adds, it was a good feeling to get a couple wickets in the end. Mentions, he just aims to pitch it up and use the new ball to its benefit. Says, there is some language barrier with Kuldeep but he bowled with fire throughout and adds that it has been very exciting to see him zip the ball.
KL Rahul, the skipper of Lucknow, starts by saying he did not even see the ball served by Boult. Says that there is a good depth in the side. Adds that even with 20/3 the teams still believed they could get over the line if they played to their potential. Mentions, sending Stoinis down the order was always the plan. Adds the depth really makes it easier for him to shuffle the pack and pressurises that the side will continue to remain unpredictable whenever required. Mentions, their death bowling has really stood out in the past games. Says, the bowler can have an off day and as a team, they will just learn from it and try to be better next time around.
Stick around for the interviews....
You just can't write a script for such an over. You just dream of it - That is what Alan Wilkins described on-air after watching the first over of Trent Boult as he took the matter into his own hands and got KL Rahul and Krishnappa Gowtham in the first over itself bowling two lovely inswinging deliveries. If that wasn't enough Prasidh Krishna got a wicket as well later to put Rajasthan completely on top. Their bowlers maintained the pressure throughout and never let Lucknow to get away with the game. Yuzvendra Chahal took a total of 4 wickets in the match and things seemed to be done and dusted but things got pretty close towards the end as 15 runs were needed off the last over. However, the debutant Kuldeep Sen kept his calm and defended it in the end. Sensational bowling performance from Rajasthan and they have got another 2 important points in their bag.
Lucknow had a below-par total to chase but had the worst of starts as KL Rahul and Krishnappa Gowtham departed for ducks and Jason Holder got out for a timid score as well inside the Powerplay itself. They were put under tremendous pressure and it was up to Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda to bail them out of the situation but it wasn't to be. None of their batters seemed to be in their elements and couldn't play a breezy inning which was the need of the hour for Lucknow except for Marcus Stoinis who took the game pretty deep and batted amazingly well as he almost took his team over the line but in the end, lost the game by just 3 runs. A positive thing for them to take though as they have paid big bucks for Marcus Stoinis in the auction and playing his first game this season, he showed great signs and batted very positively.
What a game of cricket! Absolute thriller! Pretty sure everyone watching the game were biting their nails till the last ball. Rajasthan needed something special from their bowlers after managing to get just 165 on a Wankhede pitch and their bowlers didn't disappoint them. Kuldeep Sen did absoultely well to defend 15 runs off the last over especially after Prasidh Krishna conceding 19 runs in the peunultimate over. Their bowlers rose to the occasion and stepped up handing them the win. Credit to Marcus Stoinis though who playing a fabulous knock at the end. If Krunal Pandya had taken that catch of Hetmyer when he was on 14, things might have ended differently for them but nevertheless, they ended up on the wrong side and would be looking to make amends in the next game.

Kuldeep Sen To Deepak Hooda OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Kuldeep Sen now has his say with the ball. He couldn't have asked for a better time to pick up his first Indian T20 League wicket. Kuldeep Sen breaks a crucial stand by getting rid of a power-hitter in Deepak Hooda. It is a full-length ball, on the stumps. Deepak Hooda goes on the back foot and tries to power it down the track but misses it completely. The ball goes through to rattle the stumps.
Drinks! Rajasthan got to a flying start with three quick wickets and have done well here to put a hault onto Lucknow's innings. Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda are motoring along well at the moment and Lucknow need them to stay as long as possible and take the game deep as it is still nicely poised.

Trent Boult To Krishnappa Gowtham OUT!
OUT! LBW! Trent Boult is spitting fire! Excellent seam bowling from him. Krishnappa Gowtham departs for a duck as well. This time Trent Boult goes over the wicket to the right-hander and delivers another good length delivery, nipping in. Krishnappa Gowtham looks to flick but misses and gets thudded on the pads. They appeal and the umpire agrees straightaway. Superb start from Rajasthan. Krishnappa Gowtham walks to his partner but Quinton de Kock suggests going against the review and rightly so, as the replays confirmed it was plumb.
Jason Holder is the new batter in.

Trent Boult To KL Rahul OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! A dream start from Trent Boult! What a ripper from Boult! Second time KL Rahul has gotten out for a golden duck this season. Very clever from Trent Boult to start from 'round the wicket. He hurls in and delivers a perfect inswinging delivery first up to KL Rahul, on middle. KL Rahul has no clue about that and just plays it all around. He gets beaten by the swing and hears the death rattle behind him. Lucknow lose an early wicket and this is just the start Rajasthan were looking for.
