It was Jos Buttler who scored his second hundred of the Indian T20 league 2022. This propelled them to get to a mammoth total of 217. Just when Kolkata were looking set to chase the total, Yuzvendra Chahal picked a hat-trick. He went on to pick a fifer as well. This enabled them to restrict the Shreyas Iyer-led side to 210.

"It got tensed. The quality of players made it very interesting. Very happy for the win. There are some things that need to used at the right time. You need to be smart enough to slow it down. I respect Kolkata as a unit. We never thought we were in the game. I think I don't need to talk much about individuals. We are lucky to have great players. Special mention to Ashwin for his delivery to Russell. And McCoy is an interesting guy. He doesn't talk much but seems to be in control over his bowling skills," said Rajasthan's skipper Sanju Samson during the post-match presentation.
