IPL 2024: Sam Curran's Heroics Hand Rajasthan Their Fourth Consecutive Defeat
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by five wickets in the 65th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season at the Barsapara Stadium. PBKS chased down the modest total of 145 on the back of their captain Sam Curran who excelled in pretty much all three departments on the field.
Avesh Khan’s over saw some life bounce back into the Sanju Samson led side as the ex-Delhi fast bowler took the wickets of Rilee Rossouw and Shashank Singh in the sixth over of the second innings to drag the side back into the game.
Just when it seemed that Punjab were on the verge of a collapse, in came captain Sam Curran who scored a valiant half century and went on to win the game for his side. Curran and Jitesh Sharma’s 63 run partnership added stability to their innings and put them in a favourable condition to win the game.
