Hyderabad

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Abhishek Sharma c Ravi Bishnoi b Jofra Archer 0 1 0 0 0

0.1

Jofra Archer to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! What a start for the Royals. A wicket off the very first ball. The crowd goes silent as Abhishek Sharma falls for a golden duck. Archer steams in from over the wicket and bashes the hard length, a bit of away movement. Abhishek dances down the track and flays at it. The ball catches the toe end of the blade and it is skied to deep third, where Ravi Bishnoi settles under the skier and takes the catch a few metres in off the ropes. Bishnoi turns around and he has his arms aloft while looking towards the crowd behind him. And as per Raunak Kapoor on air, this is Abhishek's first golden duck in the IPL.

Travis Head c Donovan Ferreira b Riyan Parag 18 18 3 0 100

6.5

Riyan Parag to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT! The RR skipper does the trick and both SRH openers are in the hut now. Head shows his cards early as he skips down the track and seeing that, Parag offers more flight on the ball and lands it in the vicinity of the leg stump, on a dragged length. Travis Head is already out of the crease and is beaten in the air. Still, he goes for a lofted shot to take on the long on fielder, but gets it mistimed badly and offers a dolly to Donovan Ferreira stationed at the mentioned position. A scratchy stay comes to an end for Head. Sunrisers Hyderabad are 55/2.

Ishan Kishan (C) c & b Sandeep Sharma 91 44 8 6 206.82

13.2

Sandeep Sharma to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Two men collide, but Sandeep Sharma holds onto it. A moment's silence as Ishan Kishan misses out on a hundred, which is followed by a standing ovation. Sandeep bends his back and serves the slower, short ball, outside off. Kishan has a big swing across the line but the bat turns in his hands. It is skied beside the stumps on the leg side. Sandeep runs forward and calls for it but Dhruv Jurel also goes for the catch. Both bump into each other but Sharma keeps his eyes on the ball. The ball nearly slips out of his grasp but he clings onto it close to his stomach.

Heinrich Klaasen c Riyan Parag b Tushar Deshpande 40 26 1 3 153.85

15.5

Tushar Deshpande to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Deshpande comes up with a key wicket. Back of a length and wide outside off, Klaasen is forced to stretch and fish at it, but the extra reach robs him of both power and elevation. Hits it flat and finds Parag right on the edge of the circle at cover. The Royals captain, with a slight leap, takes a sharp catch just over his head. Klaasen is absolutely livid with himself. RR will definitely breathe easy now as Sunrisers Hyderabad are 162/4.

Nitish Kumar Reddy c Dhruv Jurel b Jofra Archer 28 13 0 4 215.38

18.3

Jofra Archer to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Smart bowling from Archer as the pace off works. Wicket number 2 for him. A slower one, dug in short and just outside off. Nitish has a big swing at it, attempting to pull it into the stands over square leg, but gets a thin edge that Jurel pouches comfortably behind the stumps. Archer barely reacts. Sunrisers Hyderabad are 195/5 as Nitish departs after a breezy cameo.

Yashasvi Jaiswal c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Sakib Hussain 1 5 0 0 20

1.4

Sakib Hussain to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! The debutants are stealing the spotlight here in Hyderabad as Sakib claims his first IPL wicket now. Short and wide outside off, Jaiswal gets on the toes, for an upper cut. Gets it high in the air but not in the gap. Reddy at deep third takes it without any fuss. Jaiswal makes a long walk back to the dugout, and Rajasthan Royals are 2/4.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Salil Arora b Praful Hinge 0 1 0 0 0

0.2

Praful Hinge to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! A dream start for Praful Hinge. He hits the hard length, on top of off with a good bit of lift. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is seemingly beaten for pace as he shapes to pull it over square leg. But only manages a massive top edge which flies up the chimney. Salil Arora, the keeper, settles under it and takes a good catch. And like Abhishek, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also departs on a golden duck. RR are 1/1, chasing 217.

Dhruv Jurel (W) b Praful Hinge 0 2 0 0 0

0.4

Praful Hinge to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Double strike for Praful on his IPL debut as the off pole is flattened. Back of a length outside off, Jurel prods half-forward to play at it, but the ball nips back in to catch the inside edge and it deflects onto the stumps behind. Hinge is off in celebration as the Sunrisers are on top. Rajasthan Royals are 1/2, needing 216 more runs.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Praful Hinge 0 2 0 0 0

0.6

Praful Hinge to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Goodness gracious, where was this kid? Hinge marks his arrival in a fine, fine fashion. Full and swinging away from middle and leg, Pretorius gets forward and flicks it but can only send it high rather than far. Nitish Kumar Reddy at deep backward square leg settles under it and takes it comfortably. Rajasthan Royals are rocked early with three down on just 1 run.

Riyan Parag (C) c Abhishek Sharma b Praful Hinge 4 6 1 0 66.67

2.6

Praful Hinge to Riyan Parag, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN AT SLIP! And the debut night just keeps getting better for Hinge. The Rajasthan Royals are left shellshocked with half their side down on just 9 runs. Full and wide, inviting the drive. Parag cannot resist the temptation and throws his hands at it, only to get a thick outside edge that flies straight to slip, where Abhishek Sharma takes it with a reverse cup just over his left shoulder.

Ravindra Jadeja c Salil Arora b Eshan Malinga 45 32 5 0 140.63

15.3

Eshan Malinga to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! SRH get the review right and Eshan Malinga has his first wicket of the night. Pushed across off, on a hard length. Jadeja arches back and looks to run it down to deep third but misses. The ball passes close to the toe end of the bat before going through to the keeper, Salil Arora. Arora is pretty confident and Ishan Kishan sends it upstairs. The UltraEdge comes up with a big spike when the ball is near the toe of the blade and the on-field decision is reversed.

Donovan Ferreira b Sakib Hussain 69 44 7 3 156.82

14.6

Sakib Hussain to Donovan Ferreira, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Number two for Sakib on his debut and he has his arms aloft, looking at the heavens in relief. A nicely masked slower ball, on a back of a length and just outside off, with a slight nip back in. Ferreira has absolutely no read on it and throws his bat across the line in an ungainly swipe. Misses it by a mile and the ball goes under his bat to rattle the furniture behind. End of a valiant knock from Donovan Ferreira. Rajasthan Royals are 127/6.

Jofra Archer c Praful Hinge b Sakib Hussain 2 5 0 0 40

16.5

Sakib Hussain to Jofra Archer, OUT! CAUGHT! The two debutants combine, who have had a night to remember. Hussain sticks to the off-cutter, on a good length, on off and middle. Jofra Archer premeditates as he looks to angle the bat face and direct the ramp past short third. He has no pace to work with and he spoons it to short third, where Praful Hinge moves to his left and slides to take a good low catch.

Tushar Deshpande c Ishan Kishan b Eshan Malinga 25 11 0 3 227.27

18.6

Eshan Malinga to Tushar Deshpande, OUT! CAUGHT! The Royals are no longer unbeaten. A night to remember for the Orange Army. SRH hand RR their first defeat of the season with this 57-run win. Eshan Malinga attempts the yorker but it comes out as a full toss, on off and middle. Tushar swings at it. Slices it off the outer half towards extra cover, where Ishan Kishan settles under it and gobbles it up. Deshpande takes a chance as he reviews with the hope of the ball being above his waist. The third umpire is summoned for a check and he does not even need the Ball Tracker as the ball is below the waist to the naked eye. Malinga finishes with a couple of wickets, but the night belonged to the two debutants who got together and took down the league leaders.

Ravi Bishnoi c Ishan Kishan b Sakib Hussain 0 1 0 0 0

16.6

Sakib Hussain to Ravi Bishnoi, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Wicket number 4 for Sakib Hussain. Sakib says to his fellow debutant, if you can do it, I can do it just as well. Hussain's joy knows no bounds. Hussain rolls his fingers over the ball and dishes out the off-cutter, on a length, Ravi Bishnoi has a swing at it but can only sky it high up beside the strip on the off side. Sakib spots Ishan Kishan getting under it after moving to his right from cover and he leaves it for the captain. Kishan does the rest.
