In this season of the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals made a good start by defeating Lucknow Super Giants by just three runs in a thrilling match. The game was full of twists and turns, with LSG coming back in a tight chase with a score of 0/2 at one stage. The game also saw some inspiring performances, one of which was from Yuzvendra Chahal who took four wickets in the match; He also became the fastest player to reach 150 IPL wickets with this performance. Meanwhile, it wasn’t all hunky-dory as the spinner had to fight for every wicket, with his leg-spin wrongly called wide at one point, leaving him furious.

The incident happened on the fifth ball of the 18th over. TV replays showed that the ball was inside the line and both Chahal and captain Sanju Samson were not happy with the call.
This almost prompted the 31-year-old, who bowled the next delivery to trap Dushmantha Chammeera in front. However, the umpire once again denied him the wicket after which he took it up where Chahal was proved right.
A brilliant bowling from Yuzvendra Chahal (4/41) followed by Shimron Hetmyer (59 not out off 36 balls) and a tactical switch from R Ashwin, who became the first player in IPL history to be ‘retired out’, helped. Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by three runs in the 20th match of IPL 2022 here on Sunday.
Hetmyer and Ashwin saved Rajasthan Royals 4-67 to 135 in the 19th over when Ashwin decided to retire himself after taking a single off an excited Avesh Khan to the dugout. This allowed Riyan Parag, considered a better finisher, to step into the field and he and Hetmyer took the Royals to a modest total that they went on to defend thanks to a clinical bowling performance.
