Captain Shreyas Iyer's poor run in the IPL 2024 continues. He scored 11 runs before getting nutmegged in Yuzvendra Chahal's over. Bulky all-rounder Andre Russell managed to score 13 runs. Venkatesh Iyer failed to put on an impressive score against RR, today.

Despite dismissing Shreyas Iyer, Chahal was the most expensive bowler as the veteran conceded 54 runs in his four overs. Followed by Ashwin who went for 49 runs.

During the IPL 2024 match against KKR, lead pacer Trent Boult conceded 24 runs in his three overs of powerplay. His third over in this phase was the most expensive one, where Angkrish Raghuvanshi was hit for three fours.

Now in his last four matches, Boult has conceded 63 runs in 10 overs across the powerplay, with an economy rate of 6.3.
