With the longer boundary on Hetmyer's leg side, Agarwal gives the ball to Rahul Chahar. He starts with a wide down the leg side, and was perhaps lucky that Hetmyer didn't get any bat on that. The next one is fuller on the stumps and Hetmyer nonchalantly launches it over long-on. That levels the scores.
Chahar bowls two dots but ends up serving a full toss with one needed from three balls. Hetmyer chips it towards long-on, where the fielder charges in but it lands short. A walking single takes Royals over the line.
Here's a teaser from our report:
A returning Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a sparkling half-century as Rajasthan Royals chased down 190 against Punjab Kings with two balls to spare. The win helped them consolidate their third position on the points table.
Cameos from Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson gave Royals a flying start but with Devdutt Padikkal struggling, Jaiswal almost singlehandedly steered the chase with his 68 off 41 balls. Royals needed 49 off 34 balls when he got out, and despite Padikkal dragging them down with a 32-ball 31, Shimron Hetmyer took them over the line with an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls.
Earlier, after Samson lost his tenth toss in 11 games, Punjab Kings rode on Jonny Bairstow’s half-century and Jitesh Sharma and Liam Livingstone’s fireworks to post a formidable total. It looked sufficient at the halfway stage but didn’t turn out to be.
