RR — hampered by the unavailability of key players Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Liam Livingstone — slumped to a third loss in four matches. Big impressionThe 20-year-old Padikkal, an immensely talented youngster, made a big impression with his maiden IPL century. After being put in, RR lost wickets early, but recovered well to post a healthy score. Dube and Parag put on an attacking 66-run fifth-wicket stand, shifting the initiative back to RR. Pacer Harshal Patel broke the dangerous partnership with a slower ball, which Parag tried to scoop to fine leg.
