Royals 58-3 (10 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard
Spin from both ends as left-armer Harpreet Brar comes into the attack. Ashwin gets lucky as the thick inside edge while looking to drive through the off-side goes fine on the leg side for a four.
Two balls later he top edges the sweep which falls in the vacant short fine leg region for two runs.
He clips the fourth ball on the leg side for one and Parag clips the fifth ball off his pads for two runs followed by a single to get 10 runs from the over.
Chahar continues Punjab's fine showing with the ball as he concedes five singles in his second over.
At the halfway mark, Royals are struggling on 58/3 in 10 overs, with a run rate of under six.
Ashwin is on 10 from as many balls while Parag has made eight.
