Punjab Kings 201-4 (18 ovs) vs RR | Scorecard

Pooran is the new man in but Rahul has the strike. Short and slow ball next and Rahul pulls the ball over mid-wicket for a six! 200 up for Punjab and that is Rahul's 2000 runs for Punjab.

Rahul then gets a single to long-on.

Slower ball, Pooran then tries to pull the next ball but Sakaria pulls off a blinder at short fine leg. Pooran out for a duck and Punjab lose their 4th wicket.

Morris continues and Rahul comes to the off side and plays a scoop shot over fine leg for a six!

He tries the shot again but can get only a single this time to short fine.

Hooda is finally taken as he tries to go big but doesn't get the reach as he is caught out at mid-wicket for a well made 64 off 28 balls.

Sakariya back into the attack and he starts with a slower one that Hooda tries to go after but plays and misses.

Next ball comes into the batsman and Hooda inside edges it to backwars square leg for a single.

Rahul then gets a single to backward square leg.

Slow full toss next and no run. Good start to the over so far.

Slower ball again but Hooda waits on it and plays the ball down to fine leg for a four.

Hooda then creams the next one straight down the ground for a four. And what do you know that is a no-ball and a free-hit to Hooda! Hooda plays the ball down past the backward point fielder for a four as 15 come off it. What started as a good over with just 2 runs off the first four balls ends with 15 runs.
