Yuzvendra Chahal bagged his first man-of-match award for this season of Indian Premier League after scalping three wickets of Rajasthan Royals. Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to return with a smile finally after a massive win by eight runs. Chahal, with eight wickets to his name in total leads the Purple Cap of IPL as of now. Isuru Udana also took a couple of wickets but he was too expensive.
In the second match, it was not tough to defend 229 runs set by Delhi Capitals batters. The bowlers, although were not too economical did their bit to some extent. Anrich Nortje and Harshal Patel too three and two wickets respectively for the Capitals. Kagiso Rabada had a tough day as he gave away 51 runs in four overs for just one wicket. But Rabada is still among the top five bowlers followed by Nortje at 7th place.
