Last year’s finalist, Rajasthan Royals got off to a fine start in the IPL 2023 as they defeated SRH by 72 runs. Chahal’s performance in the IPL has been consistent as he was the highest wicket taker last season and this year he has already got four from his first game. Royals opener Jos Buttler also looked in fine rhythm as it looked like he picked up right from where he left last season.
