Vaibhav Arora started by getting rid of Travis Head (4) on the second ball of the first over. Later Abhishek Sharma (2) became the victim of Harshit Rana. Arora’s magic worked once again after this and he got the dangerous Ishan Kishan (2) caught out by Captain Rahane on the first ball of his second over. After Ishan Kishan’s dismissal, the score of SRH team became 9/3. After this, SRH’s wickets kept falling continuously.
