MUMBAI : Yuzvendra Chahal had promised to recreate his signature pose from the 2019 World Cup if he did something special in the Indian Premier League so when the Rajasthan Royals spinner captured his first career hat-trick he knew exactly what to do.
Ravichandran Ashwin provided Rajasthan Royals (RR) with a huge breakthrough in their high-scoring thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday, as he sent the very dangerous Andre Russell packing for a golden duck. Russell came in when KKR were on track to chase down their target of 218, but the wily spinner outfoxed him with a carrom ball that clattered into the stumps after beating the outside edge. It was a big moment for the Royals and Ashwin knew it, as was visible in his pumped up celebration that followed.
Rajasthan Royals pacer Obed McCoy on Monday came into the limelight after he did the signature step of Telugu actor Allu Arjun's movie, Pushpa, to celebrate with maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) wicket. McCoy achieved his first wicket in the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday after the West Indies based pacer dismissed wicketkeeper-batter Sheldon Jackon in the 20th over at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. The pacer celebrated his wicket by doing the famous 'jhukega nahi' step from the movie Pushpa and caught all the attention of the audience.
Yuzvendra Chahal's five-wicket haul which also included a hat-trick powered Rajasthan Royals to a thrilling seven-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Brabourne Stadium. "Chahal and Buttler's performances were there for the world to see, " said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson in the Post-match presentation ceremony. Ravichandran Ashwin took only one wicket but he got the prized scalp of dangerous Andre Russell leg before wicket for a golden duck. Obed McCoy bowled the final over of the match with KKR needing 11 runs with two wickets in hand but the left-arm pacer dismissed Sheldon Jackson and Umesh Yadav to guide Rajasthan to the fourth win of the season.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lost a closely-fought match against Rajasthan Royals but they have undoubtedly won many hearts of the entire cricket world on Monday night. The team's co-owner and actor Shah Rukh Khan was also bowled over by the players' stellar performance. Taking to Twitter, SRK lauded the team members -- especially captain Shreyas Iyer, pacer Umesh Yadav and Australian batter Aaron Finch. "Well played boys. Stupendous effort by @ShreyasIyer15 @AaronFinch5 @y_umesh," he tweeted.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Pat Cummins combined with teammate Shivam Mavi to complete a relay catch that helped them dismiss Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Monday. Parag tried to take Sunil Narine to the cleaners, hitting a full delivery straight down the ground in the 18th over of their innings. He didn't get enough on it and Pat Cummins ran in from long-off to grab the ball. However, with momentum carrying him towards the boundary rope, he stumbled but managed to toss the ball to Shivam Mavi before hitting the ground.
Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal said his googly was coming well but he decided to go for a safer option on the delivery that bagged him his first hat-trick in the IPL and helped his team to a 7-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. Chahal, who was declared the Player of the Match, overshadowed some brilliant batting by Shreyas Iyer (85) and Aaron Finch (58) to claim his first hat-trick in IPL. Having dismissed Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer earlier, the 31-year-old from Haryana claimed a brilliant 5/40 for his best figures of this season. It looked like KKR were cruising to victory after opener Aaron Finch struck a quick-fire 58 of 28 balls and skipper Shreyas Iyer, who hammered 85 off 51 deliveries. Both Finch and Shreyas shared a partnership of 106 runs for the second wicket in quick time.
Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is a seasoned campaigner in the Indian Premier League (IPL), and on Monday, he showed why he is among the best in the business with a match-winning spell in a high-scoring thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders. Chahal took a hat-trick in the 17th over of the match to turn the momentum completely in Rajasthan Royals' favour and finished with figures of 5/40. The hat-trick saw him remove Shreyas Iyer, who was well set on 85, and Pat Cummins, who recently hit the joint-fastest IPL half-century, making it even more incredible in the context of the match, as KKR fell just seven runs short of the 218-run target.
