Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants, 36th Match

2.2
Jofra Archer to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Hetmyer!! That's gone a mile up and Hetmyer gobbles it up! Archer wins the battle and Marsh is sent packing early. Not sure that was the right option from Mitchell Marsh. There was a bit of pressure building so he looked to hack this length delivery just outside off across the line, it took the top-edge and went high in the air. Hetmyer ran in from deep square leg, took a moment to settle under it and had to lunge forward to complete the catch. Safely held in the end and Marsh trudges off.

Good innings by Rutherford....

5.2
Sandeep Sharma to Pooran, out Lbw!! Outfoxed and outdone! Sandeep Sharma has got the job done for the Rajasthan Royals! Very full and honing into middle-leg from round the wicket, took the pace off on it and Pooran was through his slog across the line far too early, it hit him just above the ankle and looked out in real-time. The umpire agreed and raised the finger. Pooran wanted to have another look and went upstairs but to no avail - no bat involved, impact in line and hitting the stumps. Pooran is on his way back and he takes a review with him. Great start this for the Royals, they've gotten rid of two in-form batters.

Pooran lbw b Sandeep Sharma 11( [4s-2]

LSG 51/2 (7) CRR: 7.29

Aiden Markram 32(21)

7.4
Hasaranga to Pant, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Juggle once, juggle twice, juggle thrice and snap it up! Pant doesn't bother hanging around. Excellent catch from Dhruv Jurel behind the stumps and now LSG are in a spot of bother. Good length delivery on off-stump, was a googly that was going across, Pant brought out the reverse-sweep/heave and it bounced a bit more than he expected, took the top-edge and Jurel didn't have much time to react as it went towards his chest, he did well to get his hands on it and clung on after juggling it a couple of times.

Pant c Dhruv Jurel b Hasaranga 3(9

9.6
Sandeep Sharma to Abdul Samad, SIX, 27 off the over, could this over prove decisive? Sandeep loses his length completely, offers another juicy full-toss and it's shovelled high into the night sky, has enough distance as it lands in the stands at long-on
19.5
Sandeep Sharma to Abdul Samad, SIX, cracking shot, the wheels are coming off Sandeep once again - slower ball at the stumps, but Samad is ready for it, swivels across and then hammers the pull over square leg, hit the ropes on the full
19.4
Sandeep Sharma to Abdul Samad, 2 runs, fuller length delivery outside off - Samad doesn't get hold of the shovel, came off the bottom half and rolled wide of long-on, back for the second
19.3
Sandeep Sharma to Abdul Samad, SIX, crunched, the slower short ball now, bowled into the pitch, but Samad picked it early, swivels across and then swats it over mid-wicket for another maximum
19.2
Sandeep Sharma to Abdul Samad, SIX, thumped, a low full-toss on the pads, Sandeep gets his radar wrong and is punished - Samad gets inside the line, used the pace on the ball and whipped it over square leg

LSG 180/5 (20) CRR: 9

Thakur to Jaiswal, FOUR, beautifully played, a leg-stump half-volley and Jaiswal is on it in a flash, leans across, brings his wrists into play and then whips it over mid-wicket for a boundary

0.4
Thakur to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, SIX, what a start from the 14-year old, no respect whatsoever for Thakur - on a good length around off, he stays leg-sided and then carves the drive, high and over cover for a maximum. Had everyone in awe, his partner, the bowler and even Rishabh Pant

Youngest player in IPL history

1.2
Avesh Khan to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, SIX, a first-ball six off Avesh as well, this could be something unique - Avesh goes full, but it's right in the slot for the left-hander, he clears his left leg and drills it back over the bowler's head, went sailing over the long-on boundary for another maximum

1.6
Avesh Khan to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, FOUR, a chance, it's dropped and the ball is parried away to the ropes - back of a length and angling into the left-hander, Suryavanshi swung hard and got a fat top-edge, high over mid-wicket, three men converged, but it was mid-wicket who got there first, was a,ways going to be a tough catch as he was running back, it burst out and then Bishnoi tried to stop it, but he ends up fumbling off his bnody and the ball rolls onto the ropes
