JAIPUR: In a low-scoring, scrappy affair, with Rajasthan Royals requiring 19 runs off the last over, Lucknow Super Giants pacer Avesh Khan held his nerve to help his side eke out a 10-run victory on a slow SMS Stadium pitch here on Wednesday.
Jos Buttler (40 off 41 balls) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (44 off 35 balls) gave Royals a solid start but after Jaiswal's dismissal, Sanju Samson was involved in a needless run-out which derailed the chase on a pitch on which the big hits were hard to come by. Subsequently, the responsibility of taking the side home landed on the young shoulders of Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag, but the duo fell just short.
