Currently, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are locking horns with each other at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After winning the toss, the RR skipper, Steve Smith decided to bowl first and asked the visitors to bat. However, his decision backfired as SRH scored 51 runs in the powerplay itself.
During the toss, the SRH skipper Kane Williamson revealed that they have made as many as three changes in the squad as Williamson, Siddharth Kaul, and Wriddhiman Saha came back in to replace, Jonny Bairstow, Yusuf Pathan, and Sandeep Sharma. On the other hand, RR also made a couple of changes as Liam Livingstone and Ashton Turner came back in the squad to replace, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes.

One of the few bad things for SRH in the game was the early dismissal of their skipper Williamson when he was undone by Shreya Gopal’s wrong’un in the 4th over. However, after his dismissal, David Warner and Manish Pandey continued their batting form as they added as many as 75 runs for the second wicket before the former getting out in the 13th over of Oshane Thomas owing to a mind-boggling catch by Steve Smith. Even, Manish got out in the 15th over of Gopal, owing to the brilliance of Sanju Samson behind the stumps.

On the final ball of the over, Pandey waits for a late cut, but he lost his balance and Samson broke the stumps. And that’s brilliant work by wicket-keeper as he broke the stumps right when Pandey’s foot was in the air. However, in the replays, it was also shown that it was actually caught behind, though he was out through both the ways.
