Is Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) form from last year still haunting them? as the side lost by 61 runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 5 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
Talking about the Rajasthan side, they became the first team in this ongoing edition to win by batting first. They had plundered 210 runs with the bat, and with an experienced bowling line-up, they made sure the total was defended.
Kane Williamson, who came in as an opener was sent back for just two runs and his dismissal surely sparked a huge debate. His partner Abhishek Sharma stayed for a while, but he could not do much as he was too dismissed for just nine runs.
Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran, who should have proved to be lethal, got out for ducks which changed the game in favour of the Boys in Pink. Abdul Samad too could not do much as he scored just four runs.
Romario Shepherd played a cameo as he scored 24 off 18 balls, which saw the scoreboard ticking, but it was all Washington Sundar (40 off 14) and Aiden Markram’s half-century not out, that helped them put a bit of run on the board.
Trent Boult did some tight bowling and got the better of Pooran while Prasidh Krishna too got the wicket of his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate Tripathi for a golden duck. His earlier had sent back skipper Williamson.
Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal completed his 3-fer and even got his 250th T20 wicket. He first struck sending opener Abhishek and then he got his second wicket in Abdul Samad. The third came in the form of Shepherd.
