RR in deep trouble
RR fans’ all hopes would be on the dynamic left-handed batter Shimron Hetmyer stays till the end of the innings. It would be interesting to see how Dhruv Jurel approaches this innings as playing an aggressive brand of cricket would be quite risky.

GT would now be aiming to wrap up the innings quickly as Hetmyer & Jurel can play scintillating cameos. Hardik Pandya can be seen quite animated on the field. It won’t be wrong to say that any score around 140 would be tough to chase.
