The Mumbai Indians (MI) fast bowler, Trent Boult finally had his revenge after being smashed for a couple of boundaries that Sanju Samson (42 off 27) hit off him in 18th over as he knocked over the Rajasthan Royals skipper with a searing yorker. Sanju Samson, who was rooted deep in his crease, failed to connect with the toe-crushing yorker and eventually heard the death rattle of his stumps.

The wicket of Sanju Samson came at a crucial time for the MI as the stylish RR captain was looking good to play a big knock and his dismissal could well have made a difference of 15-20 runs in the end. It was a smart knock by Samson, who looked in divine touch from the moment he arrived at the crease.

Coming to bat following the dismissal of Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson managed to churn out three boundaries on his first six balls. Even as Yashasvi Jaiswal fell to Chahar, Sanju Samson continued to chip away at boundaries during the middle-overs. But with Shivam Dube failing to up the momentum for his team, one felt that Samson was under too much pressure to keep the scoreboard ticking.

And, it eventually led to his downfall. Shivam Dube smashed a six off Boult in the same over before getting offering a caught & bowled chance to Jasprit Bumrah in the following over.

Rajasthan Royals finished strongly though as David Miller and Riyan Parag took 12 runs off the final over to take the score to 4/171 in their quota of 20 overs. MI had won the toss and decided to bowl first with an expectation of pitch getting better to bat and they had replaced Ishan Kishan with Nathan Coulter-Nile.
