IPL 2020: High scoring thriller between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals in pictures

Rajasthan Royals beat Kings XI Punjab in a high scoring thriller at Sharjah on Sunday. The Royals have broken their previous record of the highest successful run chase after clinching this match in the final overs. 

Take a look: 

Rajasthan won the toss and chose to field first. But the decision did not go as planned in the beginning after KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal put up 183 runs of opening partnership for KXIP.

Mayank Agarwal slammed second fastest century by an Indian in IPL history. This was Agarwal's maiden ton in IPL. Mayank Agarwal scored 106 runs off 50 balls. He smashed 17 (10x4s;7x6s) boundaries in the match. 

Rajasthan was off to a shaky start as they lost Buttler on single digit. Sheldon Cottrell was the one to remove Jos Buttler. 

However, a quick partnership between skipper Steve Smith and Samson helped Rajasthan stay in the game. 

One of the significant moment was when KXIP's Nicholas Pooran pulled out an absolute screamer after he saved a ball going across the boundary denying RR vital six runs. 

Rahul Tewatia, again a talent from IPL, could miss out on the upcoming T20 World Cup. With a variety of options, Tewatia might have to wait for another World Cup.  

Samson was adjudged the man of the match for his innings. Samson smashed 85 runs off 47 balls and kept Rajasthan into the game despite Smith's dismissal.
