It was two needed on the final delivery. Rovman Powell, who was striking the ball well had the onus of taking Rajasthan Royals past the finish line, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar hoodwinked the batsman and made him miss. Powell was trapped in front and the umpire raised his finger. Powell used the referral but it did not help as the 3rd umpire witnessed three reds. Bhuvneshwar Kumar rose to the occasion in the clutch situation and got the wicket on the final ball.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar was adjudged the Player of the Match for taking three wickets. He dismissed Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson earlier in the match.
