When Rajasthan Royals come to chase a target at that time they want good start from their openers and they do it. For the first wicket ajinkiya rahane and Jos Buttler had a 68 runs partnership and on the bowling of Ashwin, rahane was clean bowled. In the 13th over of second innings when Sanju Samson was on the crease and on non-striker end it was Buttler at that one incident happen and butter was out.
