Chasing 202 for victory, RR lost two early wickets as Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson in the second over of the innings. Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal then brought Rajasthan back in the game.
Jaiswal scored his second fifty-plus score of the season, getting there in the 11th over. On the second ball of the 13th, he crashed a six off Bhuvneshwar as the SRH bowlers seemed to target RR with yorker after yorker.
Natarajan then came on to bowl his third over from the other end and after a quiet first two balls that fetched three runs, he dismissed Jaiswal, splattering the stumps everywhere. Natarajan bowled a yorker outside off that Jaiswal shuffled across and attempted to ramp. However, he got an inside edge that deflected the ball onto his stumps as his innings was cut short for 67 off 40 balls.

Going with the momentum of his movement across, Jaiswal fell over and landed on his backside, almost outside the pitch.
It was the third wicket to fall for RR, at the score of 135. Riyan Parag then took the game deeper before being dismissed by Pat Cummins for 77 off 49 in the 16th over.
