Jofra Archer to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Nandre Burger!! That's a body blow for MI, PBKS and KKR. The move has worked wonders for the Royals - the slower ball from Archer, banged in short and into the pitch, gets big on the MI captain and he can't control the pull - hit slightly high on the bat and lobs down to long-on. Burger with the pressure catch and he held on. Hardik Pandya c Nandre Burger b Jofra Archer 34(15) [4s-3 6s-2]

Yash Raj Punja to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, just out of Parag's reach, that could've have been the game for RR - was another lovely leg-break, but this was so reckless from Hardik Pandya - swings across the line and slices a thick outside edge. The ball went up and over cover - Parag ran back, but the ball was always dropping away from his reach, he does get the fingertips and palms it away
