DROPPED! A huge chance goes begging here! Overpitched and outside off, Dhruv Jurel throws his bat at it and slices it in the air towards short third man, Yash Thakur leaps up and gets both hands on it but spills it. They cross. Dhruv Jurel gets a life and this could prove to be very costly for Lucknow!

A comedy of errors! Outside off on a short length, Sanju Samson waits and cuts it to short third. Dhruv Jurel is already beyond the halfway mark but Sanju Samson denies for the run.

Yash Thakur to Sanju Samson
SIX! The skipper finishes off in style and Rajasthan win by 7 wickets! A low full toss on the stumps, Sanju Samson moves across bending low before ramping it over deep fine leg for a maximum to register their eighth victory of this season. A comprehensive win for the team in pink. They have truly dominated this season. Sanju Samson is pumped and rightly so. He remains unbeaten on 71 off just 33 deliveries.
