IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Highlights: Buttler ton, Chahal hat-trick in Rajasthan's exciting 7-run victory over KKR
Jos Buttler's magnificent second hundred of this IPL season was beautifully complemented by a 'five-star' Yuzvendra Chahal, who spun his web with a hat-trick as Rajasthan Royals won a high-scoring thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 runs on Monday. Buttler's 61-ball 103 had nine fours and five sixes as Royals scored an imposing 217 for five but KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer (85 of 51 balls) made a match of it in company of Aaron Finch (58 off 28 balls). As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableHowever, it was the 17th over when Chahal (5/40 in 4 overs) removed Venkatesh Iyer off his first delivery and then Shreyas, Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins off the fourth, fifth and sixth balls to completely turn the match on its head. From 180 for 4, it became 180 for eight but Umesh Yadav had other ideas. He hit two sixes and a four off Trent Boult's 18th over to bring the equation down to 18 from the last two overs. With 11 required off the last six balls, West Indies left-arm pacer Obed McCoy kept his cool to get Sheldon Jackson and Umesh to bring cheers to the Royals camp.
