The 30th Match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League was a high-voltage contest, which saw Rajasthan Royals trump Kolkata Knight Riders.

After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer opted to bowl but the decision turned out to be a nightmare as the Rajasthan batsmen took the KKR bowlers to the cleaners. KKR was given a pretty tough target of 218 runs. The KKR batsmen were going fine about the task in hand till the 17th over, but things went haywire as Chahal picked up a hat-trick. Shreyas became Chahal’s first scalp, followed by Shivam Mavi and Cummins to complete the hat-trick.
