IPL 2022 Purple Cap: PBKS bowlers Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar in top 10 despite loss to LSG

SportsTak

Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer Kagiso Rabada picked up his first four-fer of the season during his team's 20-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Friday. Rabada clocked his best figures of the season at 4/38 as his team kept the LSH batters at bay, holding them to just 153 runs. 

 

Rabada was ably supported by Rahul Chahar's 2/30, who did not let the LSG batters settle into their innings and picking up crucial wickets whenever necessary. However, their efforts went in vain as the PBKS batters faltered during their batting and were unable to chase down the meagre total, being able to score only 133 runs for eight wickets this season.
