2 min readCurran has led to success of the team, whose counterparts happened to be defeated Team of Rajasthan Royals for the fourth time in a row.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) prevailed over Rajasthan Royals (RR) taking a huge step towards the playoffs, in addition to ending RR’s 4 match losing streak for the current IPL season in Guwahati. In-charge skipper, Sam Curran, was a powerhouse of all-around abilities, dismissing 2 for 24 with his grasp and blasting an undefeated 63 to orchestrate victory with five wickets in hand. On behalf of the PBKS we are so thankful!
The match saw a major switch of events when the match was on soon after RR had elected to bat first and made only 144 runs. Chetan’s good-natured bowling effort in combination with Chahar and Patel, snatched the pitch from RR and limited their opportunities of scoring. Subsequently, the player’s irrepressible fight of 48 runs referred to by Riyan Parag was another addition to RR’s total.
In reply, PBKS struggled in the initial overs of their innings with a few loss of wickets during the middle overs. Despite the damage caused by Curran’s impactful batting, the communication skills and the partnership with Jitesh and Ashutosh both set the tone for victory. Big hitters, such as Rielle Rossouw and Pravbah Singh, made the team overall well-rounded.
The game displayed Curran‘s batting and leadership facet, which proved a vital element in PBKS victory. While RR were still struggling to keep their position, the ongoing season enlightened the drawbacks they face staying in the first two spot due to their performances.
While Parag, Ashwin and Chahal were the stars in the defeat of RR, they continued to entertain fans by dishing out a performance sprinkled with talent and determination. The IPL’s mercurial nature and resistive competition could be used as a rope to tie it with the fact that a seemingly perfect run in terms of consistent performances and well-thought-out gameplays is key for the teams that want to succeed in the tournament.
As the IPL tournament continues, teams will have no shortage of difficulties and pleasant surprises constantly lining up the field, enacting the thrilling of competitive games and exhibiting the performance of the players.
