Travis Head (34 off 28) and Rahul Tripathi (37 off 15) provided strong support at the top of the order, while Jaydev Unadkat contributed a quick 5 off 2 balls towards the end.

Despite a promising start by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a quickfire 42 off 21 balls, and a fighting 56 off 35 balls from Dhruv Jurel, the Royals’ middle order faltered under the pressure of a disciplined SRH bowling attack.
