Cricket Scorecard

Asked to bat first, Rajasthan lost Jaiswal in the third over of the game but Buttler and Samson got together for a good partnership. The duo took a bit of risk as well and added a century-plus stand. Buttler reached his half ton and then got going. It wasn't one of the best Buttler knocks but a very vital one for his side as he didn't throw his wicket away and kept going. Skipper Samson too played a fine knock. The 150-run stand was eventually broken when Samson holed out at long off. Buttler th

Right! Rajasthan have got to a big score here. Now, it is up to their bowlers to defend it. Hyderabad does not have Warner. Who will open for them? It is going to be interesting to find out. Let's see if the change of personnel works for the team. Join us for the chase which begins in a short while.

Jos Buttler, the centurion, is caught for a little chat. He says that he enjoyed this knock and he had some fun and their total is a good one. Feels that he did not find it easy at the start and he just looked to find a way to get back into form and he did that well today. Says that he was looking to just hang around when Rashid was bowling. Tells that he has spent a lot of time in the middle order, where he does not get a lot of opportunities to score a century and it was good to score this. Fe

Hyderabad started well with the ball. The new skipper brought Rashid in the attack as early as the 3rd over and the Afghan didn't disappoint him as he got the wicket in his first over. He bowled tight 4 overs but failed to get another wicket. The likes of Bhuvneshwar, Sandeep, and Khaleel failed to stop the Buttler-Samson show as the duo went hammer and tongs. Apart from Nabi, Shankar and Sandeep were the ones who managed a wicket apiece. All the bowlers were smashed all over the park and now, t

What a finish to the innings from Miller and Rajasthan have put on a massive score here! What an outstanding batting performance from them led by Buttler. 143 runs in the last 10 overs and most of them came off the willow of Buttler. The man who was out of form and struggled in the first half of his innings has played a gem of a knock to take the team to a big score.

Vijay Shankar to David Miller, ! No, he cannot! Miller knows that Vijay Shankar will bowl a full and wide outside off delivery. So, he is ready and he spanks this one all the way over covers. RAJASTHAN END ON 220/3! 

Vijay Shankar to Riyan Parag, Shortish and outside off, Parag slaps this one to long on for a single. A very good over so far by Shankar. Can he wrap things up well?

Vijay Shankar to Riyan Parag, This is bowled outside off, Parag bunts this one through mid off for a couple. 

Vijay Shankar to David Miller, Fuller again, outside off, slapped away through point for a single. 

Vijay Shankar to David Miller, SLASH AND A MISS! Fuller, but wider outside off. Miller swipes his blade at this but misses. 

Who will walk out now? David Miller it is. Vijay Shankar to bowl the final over of the innings.

Vijay Shankar to Riyan Parag, A good length ball way outside off, Parag only under edges this to the keeper, for a run. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! DRAGGED ON! Sandeep has been smacked in this over, but on the last ball of his spell, he gets the wicket of Buttler. The Englishman will head back, with his dug out up and applauding him. 124 runs from just 64 balls. A knock that he will not forget so easily. A length ball, way outside off, Buttler swings his blade at this but the ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the furniture behind. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! WHACK! Buttler takes full toll of the Free Hit. A 75m biggie and Rajasthan are on a roll here. A short ball way outside off, Jos Buttler reaches out and spanks this one over covers. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! 200 UP FOR RAJASTHAN! Buttler is just having fun here. A fuller ball around off, Jos Buttler hangs back in his crease and pumps this one over long on. Oh wait! Sandeep Sharma has overstepped and it will be a no ball. Free Hit coming up...

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! Another boundary. Buttler is ensuring that Rajasthan end on a high. A length ball, way outside off, Buttler reaches out and carves it over point. Boundary.

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Well bowled now. Digs in a shortish length ball outside off, Buttler looks to pull this one to the leg side but he misses. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! Buttler continues on his merry way. A length ball, but outside off. Jos Buttler stays deep in his crease and slams this one over long off. 

Sandeep Sharma to Riyan Parag, Fuller on middle, slogged to long on for a single. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Riyan Parag, Single to end the 18th. That was a tough chance for Kumar. A full toss, Parag hits it down the ground. The ball goes to Kumar at a good height but very quickly. He gets hands but cannot hold it. Single taken.

Change. Sandeep Sharma will bowl the penultimate over. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Riyan Parag, Two now! This one is low full toss, it is flicked wide of long on and they get two.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Just a single! Good from Kumar so far. Very full and around middle, Jos can only hit it to long on for one.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, WIDE! A slower one from Bhuvneshwar but it is outside the tramline on off stump. Wided.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Riyan Parag, One more single! Full and around off, it is hit to long on for one by Parag.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Full and around off, flicked to long on for one.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, CENTURY FOR BUTTLER! Jos Buttler is back in form. What a knock. A 56-ball century for Buttler, his maiden in the Indian T20 League. He didn't start well as he was struggling to time it but he just kept going better and better. He gets to the ton by working this length ball around middle towards mid-wicket for one. Now, he will target to finish things well for his side.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, ! Slashed away! Buttler moves to 99. Length ball, outside off, Buttler reaches out and slams it through point. A boundary for him.

Will it be David Miller coming out now? Nopes, it is Riyan Parag! 

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, ! TAKEN! Very good catch near the rope by Samad. The stand is broken. A knuckle ball from Shankar. Samson looks to go big and he targets the long off fence. However, he fails to get the timing right and gets more height than distance. Samad at long off settles himself, times his jump to perfection, and takes the catch nicely. Maintains his balance as well. Fine knock from the skipper ends.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, TWO WIDES! This one is slipped down the leg side. Bairstow fails to collect it cleanly and they sneak one extra.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, EDGY ! Full and wide outside off, Buttler looks to drill it through the off side but ends up getting an inside edge. The ball races away to the fine leg fence.

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, In the air... safe! Three fielders try to catch it but none can. Shankar bowls a short ball, it is the slower one. Sanju waits and waits and then at the last moment looks to hit over the keeper. However, he fails to time it well. The ball goes behind the keeper. He tries to get there. And so does the short third man and short fine leg fielder. But none can cover the ground quickly enough to take the catch. A single, in the end. 

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, WIDE! Shankar tries to stay away from the firing line but slips this one way outside off. Wided.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Short and wide outside off, Jos reaches out and hits it to deep cover for one.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Excellent running! Buttler is on 90 now. Full and around off, he drills it to the right side of Rashid who is at long on. Two taken.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, ! More runs! Streaky boundary this time. A length ball, just around off, Buttler looks to hammer it on the leg side but ends up getting a thick outside edge that goes over short third man. The fielder chases but he cannot stop.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sanju Samson, Full and outside off, it is drilled to long on for a single.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sanju Samson, ! Samson joins the act now! Runs flowing here for Rajasthan as they get to 150. Shortish and wide outside off, Samson slives it over point and finds the fence.

Bowling change. Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back on. Gave 11 runs off his 2 overs. 

Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, ! BANG! All the way! Massive over. 21 off it. This is floated around middle, once again on a fullish length. Buttler deposits this one over the deep square leg with a big slog.

Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, ! Another boundary. Buttler is indeed on fire. Once again a full ball from Nabi, this time Buttler hits it to the left of the bowler. Nabi tries to get a hand to it but he hardly has time to react. The ball whizzes to the fence in a flash. 

Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, Dot now! Fuller and around off, pushed back tot he bowler.

Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, ! More runs! This one is drilled down the ground. Too full as Nabi overcorrects his length. Buttler drills it through mid on for a boundary.

Mohammad Nabi to Jos Buttler, ! Buttler is on fire here now! He moves to 70. It is not too bad a ball. Touch short but Buttler is on the back foot. He picks it up and deposits it over the long on fence.

Mohammad Nabi to Sanju Samson, Flat and around middle, Samson flicks it to deep mid-wicket for one.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Dot to close the over. An expensive outing for Khaleel. It was there to be hit but Buttler failed to connect. Short and wide outside off, Buttler flashes the blade to cut but misses to connect. 14 off the 14th over.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, ! BANG! Fuller and outside off, Jos clears his front leg and powers it over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Good length and around off, tapped to point for one.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, ! Not off the middle but Sanju and Rajasthan will take it. Fuller and wide outside off, Samson looks to slam it down the ground but ends up getting a thickish outside edge. He slices it over backward point for a boundary. 100-run stand is up between the two.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Good length and around off and middle, Samson slams it wide of deep mid-wicket. The fielder runs to his right and makes a diving save. Two taken.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Shortish and outside off, it is poked to backward point for one.

Second Strategic Time Out! Rajasthan in full flow now and they will look to finish things off in style. Buttler has reached his half-century while Samson is looking solid. With Rashid's 4 overs done, Hyderabad might feel a bit worried. Let's see how things pan out in the final 7 overs.

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Good delivery to close out an expensive over. A fuller ball, could be called a yorker, around off, Buttler jams this one out to point for a single. 17 from the over. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Outside off, slapped through cover-point for a couple now. It has been a good over for the Men in Pink so far. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! That was like a tennis-style smash from Jos. A shortish ball outside off, Jos Buttler waits for the ball to arrive and then hops and whacks this one over extra cover. The fielder from long off runs to his left, but loses the race as the ball touches the ropes. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Way outside off and it is left alone. Wide signalled. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! That brings up Jos Buttler's fifty too. Has been a good knock so far, but now, with Samson by his side, the Englishman will be look to amp it up. A length ball, around off, Jos Buttler stands tall and clobbers this one over long off. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, TOP EDGE BUT SAFE! Jos Buttler is a lucky man as he had not played that well. A short ball, around off, Jos Buttler looks to pull but the ball takes the top edge and goes towards the fine leg region, where it lands safe. A couple. 

Rashid is done with his 4. Will we see his countryman Nabi now? No. Sandeep Sharma is back on. 2-0-9-0 from him so far.

Sandeep Sharma to Sanju Samson, Misfield from Kane and single now. A length ball around off, slammed towards covers, where Kane fumbles and the batters take the single. 

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, This is bowled wide outside off, Jos swings his blade at this but he misses. 8 from the over. 

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, ! Funky from Buttler! A length ball, on middle and leg, Jos Buttler shuffles across and plays the paddle scoop over the keeper. Goes over and into the ropes. Much needed boundary. 

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Back of a length ball around off, Samson taps this one to point for a single.

Rashid Khan to Jos Buttler, Tossed up and on middle, Buttler drops this one towards mid-wicket for one.

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, WIDE. Slower short ball outside off, left alone. Wided. 

Sandeep Sharma to Sanju Samson, ! Pandey is one of the best fielders in the side, but this is a poor drop, by his standards. A length ball, outside off, Samson slaps this one to the long off reigon. Does not get the required distance on this one and Pandey runs to his right and drops the catch. One.

Samson is on his bike too but he heads back as a throw is made at the non-striker's end but Samson gets back in. 

Strategic Time Out! This has been a fine start from Rajasthan. They lost Jaiswal early but Buttler and Samson are looking in flow right now. The duo has already added 50 between them and if they can stay for a few more overs, we will witness more fireworks. Hyderabad need someone to support Rashid with the ball. Let's see if any of the other bowlers can or Rashid himself will have to do something on his own. Interesting phase coming up. Rashid Khan is back for his 3rd.

Rashid Khan to Sanju Samson, Flighted around off, this is stroked through covers for a single. 

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, This is bowled around off, Buttler guides this to the man at short third man. 

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Punched off the back foot through covers for a single.

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, WIDE. This is fuller but outside the tramline on the off side. Another wide. 

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, Length outside off again, slammed away to deep covers for one.

Will Rashid bowl another one? No. Here's Vijay Shankar.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, ! WHAM! This is a length ball, around off, slightly shortish too and Jos Buttler goes back and sends the ball sailing over the deep mid-wicket fence. 

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, A length ball around off, Buttler guides this one through point and collects a couple, by the time the fielder can clean up.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, This is worked wide of mid-wicket for a single. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, ! Beats the man and finds the gap. Buttler gets his second boundary of the over. A good length ball on middle, Jos Buttler goes back and just times this one through mid-wicket. Beats the man there and the fielder in the deep to his left. 

Rashid Khan to Jos Buttler, In the air... safe! Did the fielder decided to go for the catch a bit late? Floated around off, Buttler comes down the track and looks to go over long on. He fails to get to the pitch of the ball and hits it high in the air towards long on. Shankar there is in two minds. He decides to go for the catch a bit too late and the ball lands shortly.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, A slowish length ball outside off, JB only swings his blade at this but he misses. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, ! A freebie as this is too straight in line. This is on middle and leg, Jos Buttler just tickles this one towards the fine leg region for a boundary.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Shortish and around middle, kept out.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, ! Excellent effort in the deep from Rashid but it is not good enough to save the boundary. Poor ball from Khaleel and Buttler slammed it wide of deep cover. Rahid ran to his left, covered a lot of ground. He put in a dive and tried to flick the ball in but the ball just stuck in his hand. So, this will be a boundary.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Short again, Sanju goes for the pull again but this time he mistiems it to deep mid-wicket. A single.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, ! WOW! Samson, the skipper, is off the mark with a biggie on the first ball. What a way! This is unbelievable. This is some way to announce yourself. A length ball, a bit short and around middle, Samson tonks it over wide long on for a biggie.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Length ball outside off, slapped to deep cover for one.

The skipper, Sanju Samson makes his way out now. Also, Khaleel Ahmed is introduced into the attack. 

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! LBW! Plumb this time! It is Rashid who wins the battle, eventually. Jaiswal has to go. The ploy to bring Rashid works for Williamson here. This one is quicker through the air and around off and middle, Jaiswal stays back and tries to flick but misses to put any bat on this square one. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger this time. Jaiswal has a chat with his senior partner at the other end. They do not go for the review. Rashid has got the breakt

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Very full and around off, drilled to the cover fiedler.

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! Crunched! Jaiswal is taking Rashid on here. He attacked him from the start and he is winning the battle so far. A flatter ball, this one is just outside off, Jaiswal waits on the back foot and crunches it through covers.

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, LEG BYES! This is on the pads, Jaiswal looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pad. The ball then goes past the keeper and to the fine leg fence.

Early review! It has struck Yashasvi Jaiswal on the pad and Kane Williamson makes the 'T' symbol. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows that the wickets are missing and Hyderabad lose a review. 

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, NOT ! Missing the stumps! So, Hyderabad lose their review very early. Fuller ball, this one is around off. Jaiswal once again tries to play the sweep but this time he misses to make any connection and gets hit on the pad. A big appeal but given not out. Kane signals for the review. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows it is missing the stumps. Jaiswal is safe.

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! And Jaiswal welcomes him with a boundary. Rashid floats thie one on middle, Jaiswal gets down and sweeps it over backward square leg for a boundary.

Interesting. Spin very early on and it is their champ, Rashid Khan who will have a go now. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Dot to end from Sandeep. Excellent follow-up over from him. Good length and around off, pushed to mid on by Buttler.

Who will bowl from the other end? It is Sandeep Sharma! 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Yes, he can! Just 2 from the opening over. A length ball around off, Buttler pushes it towards cover.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A bit too straight and Jaiswal is happy to work it towards mid-wicket to open his account. Top over from Bhuvneshwar so far. Can he end it well?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Excellent line and length against the left-hander too from Kumar. This one is just around off on a length. Jaiswal blocks.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Quick single and Buttler is underway! A length ball on the pads, he tucks it to the right side of the mid on fielder for a single.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Fuller this time and just around off, Buttler pushes it to mid off.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Bhuvneshwar is on the money straightaway! A length ball, around off, Buttler taps it towards cover off the back foot.

Right! It is time for the action. The Hyderabad players take the field following the two umpires. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings for Rajasthan. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling for Hyderabad. Here we go...

Rajasthan (Playing XI) - Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (WK/C), Anuj Rawat (In for Shivam Dube), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Chris Morris, Kartik Tyagi (In for Jaydev Unadkat), Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman.

Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan skipper, tells that the wicket is really good. Tells that they will have to start well in the Powerplay and then build on the innings. Feels that anything around 190-210 can be a good total. Informs that they have two changes. Kartik Tyagi replaces Jaydev Unadkat who is resting and Shivam Dube sits out for Anuj Rawat who makes his debut for them.

Kane Williamson, the new Hyderabad skipper, says that they will bowl first, and after a few conversations with people who have played here, they feel that this is a good decision and they think that this is a good surface. Informs that they have 3 changes as Samad, Nabi, and Bhuvi are back and Warner, Kaul, and Suchith miss out. Feels that they know as a group, that they have to come together and it has been tough, but it is important to try and make those few improvements. Says that the change

TOSS - It is time for the flip of the coin. Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson and the new skipper for Hyderabad Kane Williamson are out in the middle for the toss. Up it goes and it lands in favor of Williamson. Hyderabad will BOWL FIRST.

Hello and a warm welcome to another Super Sunday. It is the day where we have two games lined up for us and that means that the excitement is doubled as well. Focusing on the first game, we will see the clashing of swords between Hyderabad and Rajasthan. Two teams who have not fared well so far and will be looking to find some momentum, starting with a victory here. For Hyderabad, they put out a statement that Kane Williamson will be leading their troops for the remainder of the season and they

Breaking news out of the Hyderabad camp! It has been confirmed that David Warner will not be in the playing XI for Hyderabad for today's game. Will it be Jason Roy who will be replacing him? We will find out. 

Tom Moody, the Hyderabad coach is in for a chat! Warner will not be playing in today's game, says Tom Moody first-up, and they have come to the conclusion that this was a choice they had to make. Further adds that they were ecstatic to see Williamson and Bairstow in such good shape, and they had to make a difficult decision. States that Warner was surprised and frustrated, but he has accepted the reasoning and rallied behind the team. 

Ajit Agarkar inspects the pitch from distance. He says that there is a nice and even covering of grass. Tells that if the batsman can get it, they can play big shots. Adds that at one of the ends, there are rough patches and someone like Rashid can use that to their advantage. Ends by saying that it still is a belter of a wicket.

Asked to bat first, Rajasthan lost Jaiswal in the third over of the game but Buttler and Samson got together for a good partnership. The duo took a bit of risk as well and added a century-plus stand. Buttler reached his half ton and then got going. It wasn't one of the best Buttler knocks but a very vital one for his side as he didn't throw his wicket away and kept going. Skipper Samson too played a fine knock. The 150-run stand was eventually broken when Samson holed out at long off. Buttler th

Right! Rajasthan have got to a big score here. Now, it is up to their bowlers to defend it. Hyderabad does not have Warner. Who will open for them? It is going to be interesting to find out. Let's see if the change of personnel works for the team. Join us for the chase which begins in a short while.

Jos Buttler, the centurion, is caught for a little chat. He says that he enjoyed this knock and he had some fun and their total is a good one. Feels that he did not find it easy at the start and he just looked to find a way to get back into form and he did that well today. Says that he was looking to just hang around when Rashid was bowling. Tells that he has spent a lot of time in the middle order, where he does not get a lot of opportunities to score a century and it was good to score this. Fe

Hyderabad started well with the ball. The new skipper brought Rashid in the attack as early as the 3rd over and the Afghan didn't disappoint him as he got the wicket in his first over. He bowled tight 4 overs but failed to get another wicket. The likes of Bhuvneshwar, Sandeep, and Khaleel failed to stop the Buttler-Samson show as the duo went hammer and tongs. Apart from Nabi, Shankar and Sandeep were the ones who managed a wicket apiece. All the bowlers were smashed all over the park and now, t

What a finish to the innings from Miller and Rajasthan have put on a massive score here! What an outstanding batting performance from them led by Buttler. 143 runs in the last 10 overs and most of them came off the willow of Buttler. The man who was out of form and struggled in the first half of his innings has played a gem of a knock to take the team to a big score.

Vijay Shankar to David Miller, ! No, he cannot! Miller knows that Vijay Shankar will bowl a full and wide outside off delivery. So, he is ready and he spanks this one all the way over covers. RAJASTHAN END ON 220/3! 

Vijay Shankar to Riyan Parag, Shortish and outside off, Parag slaps this one to long on for a single. A very good over so far by Shankar. Can he wrap things up well?

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! DRAGGED ON! Sandeep has been smacked in this over, but on the last ball of his spell, he gets the wicket of Buttler. The Englishman will head back, with his dug out up and applauding him. 124 runs from just 64 balls. A knock that he will not forget so easily. A length ball, way outside off, Buttler swings his blade at this but the ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the furniture behind. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! WHACK! Buttler takes full toll of the Free Hit. A 75m biggie and Rajasthan are on a roll here. A short ball way outside off, Jos Buttler reaches out and spanks this one over covers. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! 200 UP FOR RAJASTHAN! Buttler is just having fun here. A fuller ball around off, Jos Buttler hangs back in his crease and pumps this one over long on. Oh wait! Sandeep Sharma has overstepped and it will be a no ball. Free Hit coming up...

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, Full and around off, flicked to long on for one.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, CENTURY FOR BUTTLER! Jos Buttler is back in form. What a knock. A 56-ball century for Buttler, his maiden in the Indian T20 League. He didn't start well as he was struggling to time it but he just kept going better and better. He gets to the ton by working this length ball around middle towards mid-wicket for one. Now, he will target to finish things well for his side.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, ! Slashed away! Buttler moves to 99. Length ball, outside off, Buttler reaches out and slams it through point. A boundary for him.

Will it be David Miller coming out now? Nopes, it is Riyan Parag! 

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, ! TAKEN! Very good catch near the rope by Samad. The stand is broken. A knuckle ball from Shankar. Samson looks to go big and he targets the long off fence. However, he fails to get the timing right and gets more height than distance. Samad at long off settles himself, times his jump to perfection, and takes the catch nicely. Maintains his balance as well. Fine knock from the skipper ends.

Vijay Shankar to Jos Buttler, TWO WIDES! This one is slipped down the leg side. Bairstow fails to collect it cleanly and they sneak one extra.

Vijay Shankar to Sanju Samson, In the air... safe! Three fielders try to catch it but none can. Shankar bowls a short ball, it is the slower one. Sanju waits and waits and then at the last moment looks to hit over the keeper. However, he fails to time it well. The ball goes behind the keeper. He tries to get there. And so does the short third man and short fine leg fielder. But none can cover the ground quickly enough to take the catch. A single, in the end.

Mohammad Nabi to Sanju Samson, Flat and around middle, Samson flicks it to deep mid-wicket for one.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Dot to close the over. An expensive outing for Khaleel. It was there to be hit but Buttler failed to connect. Short and wide outside off, Buttler flashes the blade to cut but misses to connect. 14 off the 14th over.

Second Strategic Time Out! Rajasthan in full flow now and they will look to finish things off in style. Buttler has reached his half-century while Samson is looking solid. With Rashid's 4 overs done, Hyderabad might feel a bit worried. Let's see how things pan out in the final 7 overs.

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Outside off, slapped through cover-point for a couple now. It has been a good over for the Men in Pink so far. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! That was like a tennis-style smash from Jos. A shortish ball outside off, Jos Buttler waits for the ball to arrive and then hops and whacks this one over extra cover. The fielder from long off runs to his left, but loses the race as the ball touches the ropes. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, Way outside off and it is left alone. Wide signalled. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, ! That brings up Jos Buttler's fifty too. Has been a good knock so far, but now, with Samson by his side, the Englishman will be look to amp it up. A length ball, around off, Jos Buttler stands tall and clobbers this one over long off. 

Sandeep Sharma to Jos Buttler, TOP EDGE BUT SAFE! Jos Buttler is a lucky man as he had not played that well. A short ball, around off, Jos Buttler looks to pull but the ball takes the top edge and goes towards the fine leg region, where it lands safe. A couple. 

Rashid is done with his 4. Will we see his countryman Nabi now? No. Sandeep Sharma is back on. 2-0-9-0 from him so far.

Strategic Time Out! This has been a fine start from Rajasthan. They lost Jaiswal early but Buttler and Samson are looking in flow right now. The duo has already added 50 between them and if they can stay for a few more overs, we will witness more fireworks. Hyderabad need someone to support Rashid with the ball. Let's see if any of the other bowlers can or Rashid himself will have to do something on his own. Interesting phase coming up. Rashid Khan is back for his 3rd.

Rashid Khan to Jos Buttler, In the air... safe! Did the fielder decided to go for the catch a bit late? Floated around off, Buttler comes down the track and looks to go over long on. He fails to get to the pitch of the ball and hits it high in the air towards long on. Shankar there is in two minds. He decides to go for the catch a bit too late and the ball lands shortly.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, A slowish length ball outside off, JB only swings his blade at this but he misses.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, ! Excellent effort in the deep from Rashid but it is not good enough to save the boundary. Poor ball from Khaleel and Buttler slammed it wide of deep cover. Rahid ran to his left, covered a lot of ground. He put in a dive and tried to flick the ball in but the ball just stuck in his hand. So, this will be a boundary.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, Short again, Sanju goes for the pull again but this time he mistiems it to deep mid-wicket. A single.

Khaleel Ahmed to Sanju Samson, ! WOW! Samson, the skipper, is off the mark with a biggie on the first ball. What a way! This is unbelievable. This is some way to announce yourself. A length ball, a bit short and around middle, Samson tonks it over wide long on for a biggie.

Khaleel Ahmed to Jos Buttler, Length ball outside off, slapped to deep cover for one.

The skipper, Sanju Samson makes his way out now. Also, Khaleel Ahmed is introduced into the attack. 

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! LBW! Plumb this time! It is Rashid who wins the battle, eventually. Jaiswal has to go. The ploy to bring Rashid works for Williamson here. This one is quicker through the air and around off and middle, Jaiswal stays back and tries to flick but misses to put any bat on this square one. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger this time. Jaiswal has a chat with his senior partner at the other end. They do not go for the review. Rashid has got the breakt

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, LEG BYES! This is on the pads, Jaiswal looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pad. The ball then goes past the keeper and to the fine leg fence.

Early review! It has struck Yashasvi Jaiswal on the pad and Kane Williamson makes the 'T' symbol. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows that the wickets are missing and Hyderabad lose a review. 

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, NOT ! Missing the stumps! So, Hyderabad lose their review very early. Fuller ball, this one is around off. Jaiswal once again tries to play the sweep but this time he misses to make any connection and gets hit on the pad. A big appeal but given not out. Kane signals for the review.

Rashid Khan to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! And Jaiswal welcomes him with a boundary. Rashid floats thie one on middle, Jaiswal gets down and sweeps it over backward square leg for a boundary.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A bit too straight and Jaiswal is happy to work it towards mid-wicket to open his account. Top over from Bhuvneshwar so far. Can he end it well?

Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan skipper, tells that the wicket is really good. Tells that they will have to start well in the Powerplay and then build on the innings. Feels that anything around 190-210 can be a good total. Informs that they have two changes. Kartik Tyagi replaces Jaydev Unadkat who is resting and Shivam Dube sits out for Anuj Rawat who makes his debut for them.

Kane Williamson, the new Hyderabad skipper, says that they will bowl first, and after a few conversations with people who have played here, they feel that this is a good decision and they think that this is a good surface. Informs that they have 3 changes as Samad, Nabi, and Bhuvi are back and Warner, Kaul, and Suchith miss out. Feels that they know as a group, that they have to come together and it has been tough, but it is important to try and make those few improvements. Says that the change

TOSS - It is time for the flip of the coin. Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson and the new skipper for Hyderabad Kane Williamson are out in the middle for the toss. Up it goes and it lands in favor of Williamson. Hyderabad will BOWL FIRST.

Hello and a warm welcome to another Super Sunday. It is the day where we have two games lined up for us and that means that the excitement is doubled as well. Focusing on the first game, we will see the clashing of swords between Hyderabad and Rajasthan. Two teams who have not fared well so far and will be looking to find some momentum, starting with a victory here. For Hyderabad, they put out a statement that Kane Williamson will be leading their troops for the remainder of the season and they

Breaking news out of the Hyderabad camp! It has been confirmed that David Warner will not be in the playing XI for Hyderabad for today's game. Will it be Jason Roy who will be replacing him? We will find out. 

Tom Moody, the Hyderabad coach is in for a chat! Warner will not be playing in today's game, says Tom Moody first-up, and they have come to the conclusion that this was a choice they had to make. Further adds that they were ecstatic to see Williamson and Bairstow in such good shape, and they had to make a difficult decision. States that Warner was surprised and frustrated, but he has accepted the reasoning and rallied behind the team. 

Ajit Agarkar inspects the pitch from distance. He says that there is a nice and even covering of grass. Tells that if the batsman can get it, they can play big shots. Adds that at one of the ends, there are rough patches and someone like Rashid can use that to their advantage. Ends by saying that it still is a belter of a wicket.
