SRH v RR, Match 4, IPL 2023, Hyderabad

SRH won the toss and opted to bowl first in their tournament opener.

The teams observed a minute's silence to mourn the passing of Salim Durani.

Jos Buttler's 20-ball 50 and an absolute carnage in the powerplay propelled RR to their best score of 85/1 after first-six.

Jaiswal slowed down a tad, to complete his fifty off 34 balls.

Sanju Samson took charge after Buttler's departure, and hit a fine 54 off just 32 deliveries.

Natarajan was the pick of the SRH bowlers with 2/23 in his three overs.

Abhishek Sharma was clean bowled by a beautiful outswinging yorker from Trent Boult.

Boult then sent back Rahul Tripathi one ball later to start with a double-wicket maiden.

Chahal picked three crucial middle-order wickets to spell more trouble for SRH in the middle overs.

Holder got the better of Washington Sundar with a short ball.

Glenn Phillips started with a six but couldn't make a difference for SRH.

Ashwin ended Phillips' fireworks early.

Adil Rashid's tame stumping gave Chahal his third wicket and all but ended SRH's hopes.

Chahal finished with 4/17.
