Rahul Chahar hat-trick powers Rajasthan to a commanding win over Madhya Pradesh

 

Having won the toss, Madhya Pradesh invited Rajasthan to bat first. Rajasthan failed to post a big score and were bundled out for just 148. Mahipal Lomror was the top-scorer for Rajasthan with 51 runs off 27 balls. Avesh Khan was the pick of the bowlers for Madhya Pradesh as he ended with figures of 4/22.

In response, after a steady 40-run opening stand, Rahul Chahar bamboozled Madhya Pradesh who crumbled like a pack of cards and were reduced to 51/6 after 9.3 overs. In the process, the leggie also bagged a hat-trick by dismissing Madhya Pradesh's top three batsmen. After being 51/6, a 51-run partnership between captain Parth Sahani and Ankit Sharma brought their innings back on track. In the end, Sahani's 45-ball 74 was not enough as Madhya Pradesh fell short by 10 runs. Chahar ended the game with stunning figures of 5/14 in his four overs.
