In the pursuit of a 222-run target, Rajasthan Royals faltered in the final over as captain Sanju Samson got out off the last ball of the match. Needing 13 runs to win off the final six balls, pacer Arshdeep Singh bowled his heart out to concede only eight runs and claim the all-important wicket of Sanju Samson on the final ball of the match. Samson, meanwhile, completed his third century in IPL cricket after getting dropped thrice during the course of his innings. Earlier, KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda scored marvelous fifties to take Punjab Kings to a mammoth target of 221 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Starting the match, Rajasthan Royals handed four players their maiden caps for the franchise, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Manan Vohra and Chetan Sakariya while Punjab handed a debut to the hard-hitting Shahrukh Khan.
