Winning the toss and opting to bat first did not go as planned for Rajasthan Royals, as their top order crumbled within the first eight overs, followed by a middle-overs collapse.
However, local hero Riyan Parag’s resilient 48 helped them post a total of 144. Trent Boult’s new ball spell, combined with Chahal’s entertaining fielding, drew first blood for the home side.
In the second innings, Prabhsimran showed early aggression by shimmying down the ground and lofting a four over mid-on off the third ball.
Determined to maintain this aggressive approach, he faced Boult’s next delivery. Boult responded by adjusting his length to a good length area, moving the ball into the right-hander.

Prabhsimran attempted a pull shot but lost his shape, resulting in a top-edge that flew behind short third man. Chahal, backpedaling, managed to take an unconventional reverse cup catch, though he stumbled before securing the ball. His antics left the Twitterverse in stitches.
