A late surge from Kings XI saw the side finish with a total of 182, courtesy of a half-century from opener KL Rahul and an excellent final over from Ravichandran Ashwin.

Chris Gayle and David Miller combined for 70 runs, but it was the captain who went off in the final over for 17 runs from just four balls.

Here's a breakdown of his boundaries:

That gave Royals, who chose to chase, a tricky target, and they lost star opener Jos Buttler early to debutant Arshdeep Singh:

The required run rate quickly rose, despite a steady knock from Rahul Tripathi, who finished with a half-century. Royals, who rested star all-around Ben Stokes, couldn't up the pace and needed more than 14 runs per over heading into the last five, with Ashton Turner coming on with 56 from 24 needed. The Australian was caught for a duck, summing up Rajasthan's innings.

They didn't come close to an unlikely comeback in the final innings, finishing with 168 from six as Kings XI easily held on for the win.
