KL Rahul’s brilliant 95* went in vain for Kings XI Punjab as Rajasthan Royals put in a disciplined bowling performance to stay alive in the race for the playoffs with a 15-run win at the Sawai Mansingh stadium on Tuesday. (RR v KXIP HIGHLIGHTS)Rahul’s knock was the saving grace for Kings XI Punjab’s batting, which floundered on a pitch assisting spin. He struck two fours off Ben Stokes in the fifth over but Kings XI Punjab lost wickets at regular intervals. Following his dismissal, Kings XI Punjab bowlers conceded just 38 runs in the death overs. However, Rajasthan Royals bowlers ensured they stayed to fight another day.
