Rajasthan Royals (RR) haven’t had the best of times in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years, having struggled to qualify for the playoffs. After winning the title under Late Shane Warne back in 2008, the team has strained in the cash-rich tournament. However, the champions of the inaugural edition are having a gala time in the ongoing edition of the championship.

On Sunday, April 11, RR defeated KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by three runs at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match went right down to the wire and Kuldeep Sen managed to defend 15 runs in the last over to help the Royals secure victory. The Royals also managed to dethrone the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from the top of the points table.

The Royals had more reasons to cheer as both the Orange Cap and Purple Cap holders were from their teams. Jos Buttler is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament, having notched 218 runs from four matches with a top score of 100.

Chahal, on the other hand, is the leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps from four matches. He snatched the Purple Cap from KKR’s Umesh Yadav, who has 10 wickets to his name. In the meantime, RR had some fun after their win over the Super Giants.

Buttler, Chahal have some fun

In a video posted on the team’s official Instagram handle, Chahal and Buttler were seen interchanging their Purple and Orange Caps. Shimron Hetmyer, who scored an unbeaten 59, posed shirtless in the background.

Sanju Samson, the Royals’ skipper, also had a laugh after Hetmyer, Chahal and Buttler were engaged in the hilarious moment. The RR players seem to be in a positive frame of mind after three wins in four games.
