IPL 2018, RR vs SRH: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: The fielding from SRH

The fielders had the back of their bowlers continuously

While Rajasthan Royals dropped a catch and fell to certain misfields in the first innings of the game, the SRH fielding unit was at the top of its game during the chase.

The visitors' fielding in the last five overs, especially, was special, efficient, and error-free throughout the 30 deliveries that were bowled by their team.

First, it was Manish Pandey who saved a certain six from Lomror at long off. Then, it was Shakib Al Hasan who did not let Rahane score a boundary off a square cut in the second last over of the game.

Thereafter, the overall fielding from the Men in Orange was exceptional in the last over of the game, despite them having a cushion of defending 21 runs to defend of the six deliveries. They dived around in the deep, denied every boundary, and were live wires in the 30-yard circle as well.

In T20 cricket, fielding is just as important as the other two aspects of the game, and SRH proved that agility and vigilance in the field can win you matches in this format.
