Yes, RR's bowlers were on the money. Yes, Paddikal played a quick-fire innings. Boult with his own pyrotechnics in the end. But the crucial phase of this match was when Jaiswal took on LSG's hit the deck pacemen. It gave them the momentum. — Bharath Ramaraj (@Fancricket12) May 15, 2022

Boult had bolted the chase and Obed McCoy just tightening that bolt. RR wins make the last 2 spots race even more interesting. #LSGvRR — Ganesh Ram (@ganerams) May 15, 2022
