바카라I had to take wickets in this match to change the result,바카라 said Man of the Match Yuzvendra Chahal after RR바카라s win over KKR. It was also Chahal's maiden hat-trick in his career. 

바카라I worked on my bowling. I spoke to the coaches and the skipper. I was thinking of a googly but then I didn't want to take a chance and bowled leg-spin only. Would have been happy with a dot ball as well on my hat-trick ball. My googly was coming out well and sent it down to Venkatesh Iyer as he would have played my leg-break well,바카라 he added.

Chahal also became the 21st player to take an IPL hat-trick and fifth by  Rajasthan Royals bowler after Ajit Chandila, Pravin Tambe, Shane Watson and Shreyas Gopal. 

It was that had powered RR to 217/5 바카라 the highest total of IPL 2022 so far. had also helped the team바카라s cause. In return, KKR lost Sunil Narine on a run-out on the very first ball of the innings.

But then, stitched 107 runs for the second wicket to put KKR in a dominating position. They were well in the game till the end of the 16th over but Chahal바카라s spell pushed them on the back foot and eventually won the game for RR.
