Gowtham glances the fifth ball fine for three runs before Buttler punches the last ball through the covers for a four.

Narine goes for 14 in his final over as he finishes with expensive figures of 48 runs in four overs, his most expensive figures in the IPL. He struggled ever since Rahane went after him in his first over, hitting him for four fours in an over.

Buttler drills the fifth ball through the off-side for two runs before he lofts the last ball straight down the ground for a four.

The young Mavi to bowl the final over. He starts with a slower ball as Dhawal chips it straight to Lynn at point who puts down a simple catch and also gives away a single to bring Buttler back on strike.

Buttler pulls the next ball but can't get hold of it for two runs to deep midwicket.

Mavi goes round the wicket as captain Karthik instructs him for behind the wickets to bowl wide but he ends up bowling three wides trying the slower ball.

A short ball in between beats Buttler before he reaches out to a wide delivery for two runs.

Buttler lofts the fifth ball down the ground which goes straight to long-off as he calls Dhawal for the second run to keep strike.

Dhawal is run out for three despite a fumble from Mavi as Rajasthan lose their 8th wicket.

Mavi finishes with a dot ball as it just passes over the wide line with Rajasthan finishing on 160 for eight in their 20 overs.
