At one point during their chase, Rajasthan dropped to 88/8 when KKR bowlers wreaked havoc at the Dubai International Stadium when Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Varun Chakravarthy took two wickets each.
Mavi got the land from Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler, while Nagarkoti fired Robin Uthappa and Riyan Parag. Pat Cummins threw three overs and conceded just 13 runs, while taking crucial terrain from Royals captain Steve Smith.
“It felt great to fire Samson and Buttler. I threw the ball as planned. It feels great to spend time with people like Russell and Cummins. We’ve mingled (gelled) with them; they’re always with us. It feels great when Venky Mysore sir and Shah Rukh Khan sir come to watch us play. We got injured (in the past) but the management showed faith in us and we are grateful for that, “Mavi told Dinesh. Karthik and Nagarkoti in a video posted on iplt20.com.
