In yet another dominating show, Rajasthan Royals (RR) toppled Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to fetch its record 8th win in 9 games played thus far.

LSG recovered well after two early losses owing to captain KL Rahul’s 48 balls and 76 runs, which were steady knocks. However, Rahul failed to finish as LSG was restricted to 196 runs.

Meanwhile, LSG also struck early to send Yashasvi Jasiwal and Jos Butler in quick succession. However, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel’s resistance was too strong for LSG’s bowling unit to sweep through.
