IPL 2018 RR vs DD: 3 Things you might have missed
The first truncated game of this IPL, was a thriller of sorts, thanks to rain accompanied by lightning, helping Rajasthan Royals secure a win over Delhi Daredevils ascending to the 5th spot in the points table.
Sportskeeda takes a look at the three unnoticed things from the match which had a considerable impact on the end result.
#1 Trent Boult’s over of diverseness
Trent Boult recreated test match scenario which happened a month ago against England by removing Ben Stokes with a peach of a delivery who was promoted to one down in the batting order.
Stokes had considerable success in the previous over dancing down the track and smacking him for a boundary but he stayed still and was caught in the crease for the next over bowled by Boult and edged to the wicketkeeper.
Boult, however, won't have been completely happy with that over thanks to some breathtaking batting from Sanju Samson who dispatched him for a boundary and six and Ajinkya Rahane completing the over with a four.
He ended up leaking away 15 runs in that over. A mixed bag indeed for the New Zealand pacer.
