Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal came out with all guns blazing and started scoring boundaries from the word go. Yashasvi was looking dangerous and threatened to replicate his heroics of the CSK game but Nathan Coulter-Nile dismissed him for 12. Jasprit Bumrah, then, trapped Lewis in front of the wicket and hampered RR’s quick start.

RR sunk further with Jimmy Neesham removing Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube in his first two overs. Glenn Phillips was the man RR had their hopes on but he got out in a miserable fashion.

Coulter-Nile was bowling the 10^th over. He bowled a straight ball to Phillips who tried to fend the ball but played all around it. The ball went through the legs of Phillips and crashed into the stumps.
