IPL 2018, RR vs MI: 5 talking points

#1 K Gowtham's cameo does the trick for RR

Gowtham played a priceless cameo tonight

Following the dismissals of Sanju Samson and Ben Stokes, the pressure was gradually mounting on Rajasthan Royals as they lost Jos Buttler and Heinrich Klaasen early too.

Needing 43 from 18 deliveries, RR's only hope with the bat was K Gowtham and boy did he deliver.

Gowtham began to smash some big shots to make the equation 10 runs from the final over which was totally achievable. He smashed a boundary in the second ball before hitting a brilliant six to end the match for Rajasthan Royals. Gowtham ended with 33 from 11 deliveries.

Jofra Archer may have been the MoM tonight but K Gowtham's contribution with both bat and ball (0/20 from 3 overs) was priceless.
