    7.3 Slog swept flat and straight to Hetmyer at deep midwicket. Theekshana gets Gurbaz for the fifth time. Was a length ball around fourth, Gurbaz got on one knee and timed it decently. No, square-on replay shows it came off the bottom of the bat 69/2
    1.6 Trims the bails with an offcutter. Narine cleared the front leg and looked to launch the length ball over square leg. The arc of the bat was almost from point to square leg, so it was proper across the line. He played the wrong line and was into the shot too early. Ball tracking shows that deviated away a touch. Narine grimaces as he walks back, Yudhvir joins in hands and looks up in celebration 13/1
    12.4 He's nicked it! Rahane goes for the sweep on this full ball on middle going across him and ends up getting a tickle and it's gobbled up. Finger goes up immediately 111/3
    18.1 Holes out at deep square leg! This is a back of the hand slower ball on a length on leg. Raghuvanshi looks to help it over behind square leg but the lack of pace does him in. Easy grab for the substitute fielder Ashok Sharma 172/4

    6.6 'Catch' is the call... taken at long-on. Moeen gets another left-hander. Rinku runs in, takes it low and slides nicely. Was a floaty 91ks full ball on fifth, Jaiswal crossed his feet, got low and looked to thrash it across. 66/3
    0.4 Another two-ball innings for Suryavanshi, this ends with a great catch from Rahane. He ran back from midwicket, his body was facing the crowd and he was looking above his shoulder. He took the catch low in front and tumbled while holding on. Gets back up, raises his arms and charges as a dejected Suryavanshi has to walk back. Was a 127ks outswinger on a length around fifth, Suryavanshi top-edged the pull. 5/1
    1.5 Taken at mid-on. No referral needed this time. Rathore reaches forward again and looks to launch it across the line. Looked to be too early on the fourth-stump length ball. Skied it to mid-on for a dolly 8/2
    17.4 Parag holes out five short of a maiden T20 century! This is an offcutter on a length outside off and Parag looks to go down the ground. But he hits this flat and it goes straight to Vaibhav Arora who does the rest. A stunning knock, but he looks supremely disappointed 173/7
    7.3 Spins in and knocks off into ground. First-baller for Jurel. He did not read the googly. 93ks on a length, landed around fifth and came back in sharply, Jurel tried to defend to cover, he then tried to jam the bat onto pad but it was too late by then. Varun leaps in delight 71/4
    7.5 Another googly to deck off stump. Two in the over. Just 86ks, on a length, landed around fourth and zipped off the pitch. Turned a bit, not all that much, Hasaranga seemed to have played down the wrong line and was beaten on the inside edge as he tried to drive through cover. Our scorers think the opposite though, Ranjith says this turned more than Jurel's 71/5
    15.5 And that's the breakthrough! The short ball does the trick! Banged in short on leg, Hetmyer looks to pull and gets a top edge that loops up to short third! Hetmyer, though has reviewed this! Did that hit him on the helmet? The bat was close to the helmet. But the UltraEdge does confirm that there was a spike as ball went past bat so Hettie has to go. A big blow just when Royals were the team with momentum behind them 163/6

    19.6 Vaibhav nails the yorker, Dubey digs it out to long-off, can they get the second? NO! The throw is quick from Rinku, and Vaibhav takes the stumps off with Archer well short! KKR are very much alive in IPL 2025! Rinku Singh raced in from long-off and was sharp with his throw, and that seals the win in regular time for KKR! Rajasthan Royals almost pulled off a dramatic win for the ages. Sreshth says Rinku was swapped from long-on to long-off as a late call by Rahane! 205/8
