Xtratime Web Desk: On Thursday evening at Wankhede stadium Rajasthan Royals(RR) notched up their first win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) season 14 when they beat Delhi Capitals bu 3 wickets. During the course of the match Rajasthan never looked in a winning position while batting but the most 'expensive' player in the history of IPL Chris Morris pulled of an unthinkable win for his side.

　

While Chasing 148 runs to win Rajasthan started off poorly in their chase as they lost Buttler (2),Vohra(9),Sanju(4) and Dibe(2) early. South African left hander David Miller was fighting a lone battle. H e scored 62 runs from 43 balls. When he got out trying to hit Avesh Khan for 3 consecutive sixes it looked all over for Rajasthan untill Morris played a blinder with the bat by scoring 36 runs from just 18 balls and securing a win for his team.He hit a six to ensure the win for his team as he remained not out . Incidentally in Rajasthan's last match versus Punjab when they needed 5 runs from 2 balls team captaon Sanju Samson refused to take single and in the last ball he got out trying to hit a six as his side lost the match by 4 runs.

　

After the win versus Delhi ,Morris opened up on the issue. He said ' I was gonna run back no matter what because Sanju was hitting it so sweetly.People underestimate how fast I run. Sanju was hitting it like dream that night. I wouldnot have been too upset if he had hit the last ball for six.'
