Kane Williamson was fined under the IPL Code of Conduct’s minimum over-rate offenses. SRH suffered a heavy 61-run loss in their opening encounter against the Royals. They were totally outplayed in every department of the game with their bowling being the most indisciplined.

Royals scored 210/6 batting first with skipper Sanju Samson scoring 55 off just 27 balls. There were contributions from Jos Buttler (35), Devdutt Padikkal (41) and Shimron Hetmyer (32) which took them to that score post 20 overs.

SRH lost wickets at regular intervals during the chase. Skipper Kane Williamson was dismissed for just two as none of the top four batsmen got to double digits. Aiden Markram batting at number five scored an unbeaten 57 and lower-order efforts from Romario Shepherd (24) and Washington Sundar (40) were not enough to take SRH to a win. At last, they ended their innings at 149/7 succumbing a heavy defeat.

“We started beautifully with the ball, we had our opportunities. In all the games so far, there has been some swing and assistance with the new ball. You want to make some inroads, we looked very likely but unfortunately some fine margins in this game didn’t go our way. It was a very good surface, Rajasthan played outstandingly well. For us, there’s still a number of things to touch on and improve on as a side. You got to keep your chin up and move on to the next one” said Williamson after the loss.
