IPL 2022: Chahal singlehandedly turns match in RR's favour

The KKR vs RR match produced a nail-biting thriller contest, with the Rajasthan Royals emerging victorious by a narrow margin of seven runs. RR batted first and posted a fighting total of 217 runs on the board, the highest in the IPL 2022 season. In response, KKR were dismissed for 210 runs, with Yuzvendra Chahal inflicting most of the damage.

However, the 31-year old did not have the best of starts in the KKR vs RR match, as he conceded 17 runs in his first over. From that point on, the leg spinner found his rhythm as he first dismissed Nitish Rana in his third over before picking up four wickets in his last over, including his maiden IPL hat-trick.

Chahal first dismissed Venkatesh Iyer on his first delivery before getting rid of Shivam Mavi and Shreyas Iyer in his fourth and fifth balls. Then on his final delivery, he also dismissed Australian pacer Pat Cummins to complete a remarkable hat-trick and a fifer.

Following the dismissal of Cummins, even though KKR were eight wickets down, Umesh Yadav's quickfire 21-run knock of just nine deliveries resulted in an exciting conclusion of the match. However, once he was dismissed by Obed McCoy in the last over, KKR never looked like chasing down the total of 218 runs as they fell short by seven runs, with Sheldon Jackson getting out soon after.
