Overs1.1
Score5 - 1

P Krishna to A Rahane, OUT! Rahane is gone. That's dead plumb. Walks over to Buttler to ask him whether the review should be taken and he says no. Rajasthan lose their first and it's the skipper. Krishna bowls a length ball in line of the stumps, Rahane looks to work it across the line but fails to connect. Is caught on the pads and a loud appeal goes up. The umpire's finger follows. Krishna strikes immediately.
