Titans who are sitting pretty high in the IPL 2023 league standings with 4 points.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa, skipper Dhawan himself and Sam Curran were all on song as the Mohali-based franchise posted 191/5 in their first match of the season, and in reply, restricted KKR to a total of 146/7 in 16 overs. The rain spoiled the night from Nitish Rana’s side.
Arshdeep Singh won the player of the match award with a sensational bowling spell that saw him register figures of 3/19 in his 3 overs.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, continue from where they left off last season, with skipper Samson leading the way, and IPL 2022 Orange Cap winner Jos Buttler hitting a half-century alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Samson’s half-century helped the Royals post 203/5 in their respective 20 overs, and they made it a one-sided affair as Sunrisers could only muster 131/8 in their innings. Yuzvendra Chahal stole the show with the ball as he took 4 wickets in his spell and conceded just 17 runs.
Thus, with both the sides looking to continue their winning streak, tonight’s clash between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals promises to be a thrilling encounter.
