RR vs PBKS, IPL 2024 Highlights:
Rajasthan Royals set Punjab Kings a target of 145 runs at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati in the 2024 season of the IPL on Wednesday.
RR, who have already secured their berth in the playoffs of the tournament, were off to a shaky start as their top order crumbled early in the game, before hometown hero Riyan Parag came in to steady the flow of runs.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Parag shared the crease for the biggest partnership for the side from Jaipur with a 50-run partnership, before the veteran was dismissed by seamer Arshdeep Singh.
Parag top scored with 48 runs for his side before being sent back by Harshal Patel in the final over of the innings, as the bowling efforts of Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran, and Rahul Chahar limited RR to the sub-par score.

It was a horror start for Punjab with the bat, but a captain’s knock saved the day eventually.
RR started off clinical with the ball, as Boult struck in the very first over, followed by Avesh Khan who wreaked havoc to scalp two wickets in his first over, as PBKS were pushed to a measly 48-4.
It was all on skipper Sam Curran, who took the weight of the expectation and alongside Jitesh Sharma put up a slow and steady fifty partnership to rebuild the PBKS innings.
Chahal struck again to dispose Jitesh, but Curran would remain undeterred and would continue to attack the RR bowling ranks at will, mustering up an unbeaten 63* off 41 balls, and finished off the chase with a bit of help from Ashutosh Sharma to clinch a 5-wicket win with 7 balls remaining.
PBKS Win by 5 Wickets
