Jaydev Unadkat – 5. The left-armer is one of many bowlers who will be itching to get away from Sharjah. He did not even get his full quota of overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
KINGS XI PUNJAB RATINGS: KL Rahul – 8. Another score, regained the orange cap for the leading run-scorer … yet was still overshadowed by his opening partner. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mayank Agarwal – 9.5. The star of the first game for Punjab, and even better this time. Reached his ton off 45 deliveries. Sportzpics for BCCI
Glenn Maxwell – 7. Bumped up the order to try to maintain the impetus, and he hit two fours in doing so. Sportzpics for BCCI
Nicholas Pooran – 8. Back at the ground where he dominated in the T10 League, he powered 25 in eight balls. And he came up with the most incredible bit of fielding you will see at the boundary rope. Sportzpics for BCCI
Karun Nair – 5. Was not required with bat or ball. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sarfaraz Khan (right) – 6. Again, he did not get a chance with the bat, but he did pocket the vital catch of Buttler. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jimmy Neesham – 6. Escaped the damage of his senior seam-bowling colleagues, as he went for just the one six. Still yet to bat in the tournament. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mohammad Shami – 5. Three wickets was a positive. But 53 runs conceded was, quite clearly, a negative. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sheldon Cottrell – 3. It was all going so well when he sent back Buttler cheaply. The finish was a nightmare, though, as he ended with 57 from three overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ravi Bishnoi – 7. Copped an earful from Maxwell for giving away an overthrow, only to come back and bowl a steady over straight after. Sportzpics for BCCI
Murugan Ashwin – 5. His overs were kept back as the carnage was unfolding. Took a wicket in the last over, but could not stop the inevitable. Sportzpics for BCCI
RAJASTHAN ROYALS RATINGS: Jos Buttler – 4. Huge anticipation about his first appearance after quarantine, but he was scruffy with the gloves, and came and went quickly with the bat. Sportzpics for BCCI
Steve Smith – 7. His rapid half-century was just what his team needed at the time. His decision to send Tewatia up the order initially looked foolhardy. Then, genius. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sanju Samson – 9.5. In a competition of unbelievable theatre, he is the best player to watch at present. His luck must be in, too - he even ran a three in Sharjah. Sportzpics for BCCI
Rahul Tewatia – 8. One over for 19 on a horror night for the bowlers. His batting was a sorry sight to start with. And then … mind-blowing. Sportzpics for BCCI
Robin Uthappa – 6. Questionably demoted below Tewatia in the order. When he was called on, he did what was required of him. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jofra Archer – 7. No better than four out of 10 for his bowling. Ten out of 10 for his batting, though, as he made 13 not out from three balls. Sportzpics for BCCI
Riyan Parag – 5. Had a long wait to get in, and then was bowled behind his legs by Ashwin with the game there for the taking. Sportzpics for BCCI
Tom Curran (right) – 4. So brutal was it for the bowlers, there was even a moment he had to take cover, after a scary straight smite by Pooran. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shreyas Gopal – 5. Four overs for 44. A wide. Three sixes conceded. Which was about par for the course, really. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ankit Rajpoot – 6. His struggles bottomed out when he somehow sent down a wide and a no-ball in the same delivery. Went for a mere 39 in all, though. Sportzpics for BCCI
