RR vs PBKS: “What A Player Sam Curran “- Twitter Reacts As Punjab Kings (PBKS) Defeat Rajasthan Royals (RR) In The 8th Match Of IPL 2023

Punjab Kings (PBKS) won a thriller against Rajasthan Royals (RR). PBKS won the match by a mere 5 runs & now have won back-to-back matches in IPL 2023. Sam Curran held his nerve in the last over & defended 16 runs. Nathan Ellis was the destroyer in chief as he took scalps & gave away 30 runs in his 4-over spell.

RR would rue their batting lineup as it was reported that Jos Buttler wasn’t ready to open the innings then they sent Ashwin to open along with Yashasvi Jaiswal which somewhat changed the dynamics of the match. Sanju Samson scored 42 runs in balls but couldn’t play an impactful knock for the team.

PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan would be quite relieved as at one stage it looked like Shimron Hetmyer would take RR over the finish line. Shimron Hetmyer played a dashing cameo of 36 runs in 18 balls as he struck 3 fours & 2 sixes. RR would be aiming for a quick turn-around as their next match is against Delhi Capitals (DC) on 8th April (*Saturday).

Earlier PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan played a stellar knock of 86 runs in 56 balls as he struck 9 fours & 3 sixes. Prabhsimran Singh was in beast mode as the right-handed batter stunned RR bowlers by smashing a turbulent knock of 60 runs in 34 balls & struck 7 fours and 3 sixes.

Rahul Chahar in the middle overs was quite spot on with his line & length. The spell of Rahul Chahar was quite decisive as he gave away only 31 runs in his 4-over spell. PBKS still have a lot to ponder as the likes of Sam Curran & Arshdeep Singh were taken to the cleaners which is not a good sign.

RR and PBKS have a history of producing high-scoring cliffhangers! Dhruv Jurel produced the best performance by an Impact Player in IPL 2023 and almost pulled off a heist for RR! #RRvPBKS
