IPL 2024: Top 10 Memes from KKR vs RR, Match 31

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to field first against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. Phil Salt's early drop catch for zero didn't hinder Kolkata Knight Riders much, as Avesh Khan's brilliant return catch removed him quickly. However, Angkrish Raghuvanshi showcased fluent batting from the get-go supported by Sunil Narine, who gained confidence with his expansive shots.

Raghuvanshi's breezy cameo was impactful, though his departure was followed by Shreyas Iyer's quick exit against the flow of the game. Nevertheless, Narine's unstoppable onslaught dismantled the RR bowling attack, with only Avesh and Boult managing to keep the runs in check. Rinku Singh's brisk contribution bolstered KKR's total to a formidable 223.

Rajasthan's response began aggressively, with Yashasvi Jaiswal aiming for boundaries at every opportunity before falling to Vaibhav Arora. Despite Sanju Samson's brief resurgence, Harshit Rana's delivery forced an error from the RR captain. Riyan Parag countered the KKR bowlers, but his departure to a deceptive delivery from Harshith Rana triggered a downward spiral for the visitors.

Jos Buttler pulls victory out of KKR’s bag

Dhruv Jurel's dismissal of Narine and the strategic decision to send Ravichandran Ashwin at six didn't yield dividends as the scoring rate dipped. Varun Chakaravarthy's consecutive wickets of Ashwin and Shimron Hetmyer further compounded RR's woes. Rovman Powell's aggressive play against Narine resulted in his downfall, leaving RR with a daunting requirement of 46 runs from the last three overs.

Jos Buttler, previously on 42 off 33 balls rose to the occasion, as he scored 42 off the remaining 46 runs to guide his team to victory. Buttler's unbeaten 107 off 60 balls anchored RR's successful chase and resulted in a thrilling two-wicket win for his side on the final ball of the match.
