The 5th match between SunRisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 witnessed a run flow at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Both the openers – Jos Buttler (35) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (20), captain Sanju Samson (55), Devdutt Padikkal (41) and a stunning cameo from Shimron Hetmyer (32) helped them put up a total of 210 runs as well.
Put into bat, Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start with Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal adding 58 runs within 6.1 overs. Both the openers took on every bowler and punished all over the park. However, it was Romario Shepherd who provided the first breakthrough by removing Jaiswal. It was short of a length delivery and Jaiswal went for the pull and hit it straight up but found Markram near the deep square leg who did no mistake. However, the opener smashed 2 fours and a six as well. Soon Jos Buttler too got out for 35.
