Sanju Samson joined the likes of Jos Buttler and Ajinkya Rahane on the list of most fifty-plus scores for Rajasthan Royals in all T20s.
23 – J Buttler (71 innings)
23 – A Rahane (99)
23* – S Samson (127)
Riyan Parag chipped in with a 29-ball 43 while adding 93 runs for the third wicket with his skipper. Parag’s innings ended in the 15th over when, having already hit Naveen-ul-Haq for a four and six, the right-handed batter went for a pull shot but top-edged it to substitute fielder (Deepak Hooda) at deep square leg.
India’s latest batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal got out after racing to 24 in 12 balls. Jaiswal hit a few attractive fours to make his intentions clear of leading a fightback for the Royals who lost Jos Buttler in the second over. The English wicketkeeper-batter cracked two fours to begin with but he was outdone by Naveen-ul-Haq (2/41), who teased Buttler (11 from 9 balls) with a fuller one to drive, off which he got an outside edge.
