  IPL 2021, RR vs SRH: Pandey gets in on the act

  Kartik Tyagi is given a third. He's been impressive so far. Averaging 142.7 kmph so far and has been very economical in his first game of IPL 2021.

  SIX! The commentator's curse, as they say. Full and wide, Manish Pandey stretches wide and still gets enough bat on it to deposit the ball over covers for six.

  SIX! As sweet as they come! That was more of statement. Not a terrible delivery at all, just back of a length. Pandey is strong on the on-side and he showed just why when he swatted the ball through deep mid-wicket for a six.

• 2 May 2021, 05:49:37 PM IST

  FOUR! Buttler in total control! Slow and short from Sandeep but dragged way outside off stump. Buttler reaches out for it and picks the gap with yet another tennis-like forehand for four.

  SIX AND NO-BALL! Rajasthan Royals cross the 200-run mark. Overcompensates this time. Goes full and short and Buttler obliges by thumping the ball for a six.

  SIX! Slow and wide, once again, Buttler reaches out and still generates enough power to the cut ball over deep backward point for a six. Just vintage Jos.

  OUT! BOWLED HIM! Buttler has to go for 124 off 64 balls. Full and wide, Buttler looks to cream the ball through covers but ends up chopping it onto his own stumps. What a knock!
