IPL 2018, KKR vs RR: 4 unnoticed things from the game

#3 Boundaries galore at the top

Rajasthan made a change at the top by sending the last season hero Rahul Tripathi to open the innings. Tripathi was lucky as he was put down by Nitish Rana on the very first ball of the match. Only 3 runs came off the first 8 balls and Rajasthan was in a desperate need of some boundaries.

What followed was pure carnage as the duo of Tripathi and Buttler smashed the next 10 balls to the fence. First, Tripathi smashed the youngster Prasidh Krishna for a six and 3 consecutive fours. In the next over, Buttler smashed 28 runs of Shivam Mavi which included 4 fours and 2 sixes. The scorecard read 6,4,4,4,4,6,4,4,6,4. 10 boundaries off 10 balls is a record in the IPL for most consecutive boundaries.
