#4 Spinners' stranglehold

Both Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan are highly sought after in T20 cricket due to their ability to pick up big wickets. The duo conceded just 46 runs off their overs and picked up 3 crucial wickets.
Both of them varied their pace nicely and did not allow the Rajasthan batsmen to get away. Their tight bowling was a key reason why the Royals struggled in the middle overs.
Shakib got the important wickets of the well set Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi in the 14th over, while Rashid got the big wicket of Buttler which prevented a late charge from the Royals. In the end, they could only post a below-par 125.
