Finally, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opened their account in the points table of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. Thanks to the Rain God who made the game extremely tough for the Delhi Daredevils (DD) as they failed to chase down 71 runs in 6 overs after the drizzling stopped. Unfortunately, the Delhi boys struggled hard to make a mark in the early stage of the tournament. It can be said that they had just another bad day at the office. While on the other, Ajinkya Rahane & Co finally tasted their first victory which will provide quite a boost up to the entire team.
In case you missed the live action, here are the takeaways from the game:

20:42 IST Attention IPL fans. An important announcement from the chairman, Rajiv Shukla. Since the protest in Chennai has taken a toll on the game of cricket when the CSK played KKR on April 12, a strong decision has been taken.
We had decided to hold all IPL matches in Chennai on police’s assurance that adequate security would be provided. But today Chennai Police informed CSK that they won’t be able to do it. So matches are now being shifted. Pune is one of our options: Rajeev Shukla, IPL chairman pic.twitter.com/QNMwBvaCl8

20:15 IST Is it a coincidence or what? 2nd game in his IPL career and he gets run out for the second time, that’s D’Arcy Short of you. But the only question the entire nation, at least Rajasthan fans, wants to know.. how many time will he be removed like this?
How many times Short will be short of crease #RRvDD #IPL2018

19:10 IST In their previous game, the RR batting remained below par. No sixes were hit from the batsmen, just imagine! Thus, their performance gave the tweeps a reason to banter them.
Even Karni Sena is more aggressive than Rajasthan Royal’s batting. #SRHvRR

19:00 IST The Jaipur will be super excited to watch their team playing at their home ground after 2 years. For the Daredevils, it’s like ‘Padharo Mhare Des’ from the local fans.
