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 bowling coach Lasith Malinga said Yuzvendra Chahal showed why leg-spinners are considered as match-winners in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a brilliant 17th over in which he recorded the first hat-trick of the season. Chahal (5/40 in 4 overs) removed Venkatesh Iyer off his first delivery in the 17th over and then Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins off the fourth, fifth and sixth balls to completely turn the match on its head and hand RR a close seven-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday night.

Shreyas Iyer was dejected that he couldn't bat till the end despite taking his team close with a 51-ball-85 as Rajasthan Royals won by seven runs in a high-scoring IPL thriller on Monday. KKR were all-out for 210 in reply to Royals' 217 for 5 but Iyer along with Australian white ball skipper Aaron Finch (58 off 28 balls) did make a match of it before things went downhill in the 17th over by Yuzvendra Chahal. "We went in line with the run-rate from the start thanks to Finch. We could not continue which was bad but it is a part of the game. My plan was to bat till the end," Iyer said. Asked if Nitish Rana's dismissal by Chahal actually became the turning point, Iyer felt that the leg-spinner's better record in match-ups with Delhi southpaw went his way.
