It was a shaky start for Punjab as their openers struggled, losing their wickets inside the powerplay. Debutant Mitchell Owen had a forgettable outing, departing without scoring a run. However, Nehal Wadhera turned the tide with a brilliant 70 off 37 balls, while skipper Shreyas Iyer contributed a steady 30 runs. Shashank Singh played a crucial knock, adding 59 runs, and Azmatullah Omarzai chipped in with 21 to bolster the total. On the bowling front, Tushar Deshpande was the standout performer for Rajasthan Royals, picking up two wickets.
