Commentary

Yuzvendra Chahal's sensational hattrick and Jos Buttler's sizzling knock saw Rajasthan Royals return to winning ways, with a smashing win over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday.

After being sent into bat, Rajasthan first put up a stellar show with the bat and then the bowler's led by Chahal saw RR defend the season's highest total to pick up a 7-run victory over the Knights.

Jos Buttler (103 off 61) continued his sizzling form as he smashed his second ton this season to guide Rajasthan to the season's highest total. Buttler's ton and solid knocks from skipper Sanju Samson (38 off 19) and Shimron Hetmyer (26 off 13) saw Rajasthan set a massive target.

In reply, KKR got their chase off to a shaky start as they lost opener Sunil Narine, playing in his 150th IPL game, to a run out on the very first delivery. But the Knights quickly recovered as skipper Shreyas Iyer and Aaron Finch (58 off 28) put up a stand of 107 off 53 to keep the chase on course. Prasidh Krishna put the brakes on the Knights' chase after Finch scored his fifty off 25 deliveries.

But despite losing a few quick wickets, including the big hitting Andre Russell (0), the Knights kept the asking rate within reach. Skipper Iyer, dropped on 67 by Samson, kept the Knights on course.

The 17th over saw the game turn on its head as Chahal picked up four wickets, which included a hattrick. Chahal tilted the scales back in RR's favour as he removed Venkatesh Iyer (6 off 7) and then went on to pick up the prized scalp of Iyer (85 off 51).

But a T20 game is never really over. And Umesh Yadav played a fighting cameo to keep Knights in the game. But a sensational final over by debutant Obed McCoy saw RR snatch a win from the Knights.
