Opting to bat, RR lost their top-order batsmen cheaply inside the powerplay overs but recovered to some extent to post a decent total, thanks to Mahipal Lomror's knock of 47.(BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

RR skipper Steve Smith (5) fell cheaply for the second consecutive time with Isuru Udana taking his wicket in the third over. Smith was followed in the hut by Englishman Jos Buttler (22) who failed to come up with a big score yet again. (BCCI/IPL Photo)

Sanju Samson (4), who had two sensational innings of 74 and 85 in the first two matches, was dismissed in the fifth over with Chahal taking a low catch in his follow-through.(BCCI/IPL Photo)

RR were 31/3 and they reached 70/3 at the halfway mark with Robin Uthappa (17) and Lomror stitching a 39-run stand for the fourth wicket. But Uthappa failed again with Chahal getting him caught at long off. (BCCI/IPL Photo)
