Shikhar Dhawan:
Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has been a key component for his team at the top of the order. In the previous game, his team’s good total was helped by his 85 off 56 deliveries. The Southpaw got off to a poor start at the bowling crease but built up speed in the middle of the innings to put an end to it swiftly.
Probable best bowler
Nathan Ellis:
Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh gave Punjab’s bowling innings a great start, but Nathan Ellis’ ingenuity and trickery ended Rajasthan’s pursuit. The Australian pacer had a strong start and finished with four dismissals, one of which was the dangerous Sanju Samson.
