IPL 2023: How SRH snatched thrilling win against RR in Jaipur

Even the most optimistic Sunrisers Hyderabad fans, squad members and support staff wouldn’t have expected anything positive with two overs to go against the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. They needed 41 runs from two overs in the stiff 215 run chase in Jaipur. RR, on the other hand, needed to stick to the basics and they were going to snap their two-match losing streak.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. Kuldip Yadav was thundered for three consecutive sixes by Glenn Phillips and then a four. Even though Phillips fell next ball trying to add to the mayhem, that over ends up producing 24 runs.

With 17 runs needed off the final over, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson handed the ball to Sandeep Sharma. The same Sandeep Sharma who had defended 21 runs against Chennai Super Kings with MS Dhoni in the middle. This was right up his alley. Or so everyone thought.

This is the best league in the world and you can’t change our minds
