During the 15th match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Jaipur, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Tom Curran picked up a couple of wickets on consecutive deliveries to erode Rajasthan Royals’ innings.

After being put in to bat by Dinesh Karthik, Rajasthan Royals did not get off to the best of starts. Once they lost their captain Ajinkya Rahane (36) in the seventh over, wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals, thereby sipping out the momentum from their innings.
