RR vs PBKS Live: RR’s batting depth and the weak link!
The depth in Royals’ batting is such that it can withstand any bowling attack. If young Yashasvi’s 37-ball 54 at the top showed how quickly he has matured as an opener, Buttler seemed to be carrying on from where he had left off in the previous season, smashing a 22-ball 54.
The only weak link, if any, seemed to be their middle where Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag were both dismissed cheaply, before West Indian Shimron Hetmyer took the team beyond the 200-run mark.
