Captain Sam Curran took center stage, delivering a well-paced fifty and claiming two crucial wickets, steering Punjab Kings to a five-wicket triumph over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL encounter on Wednesday. Although the target was a modest 145, Kings faced difficulties on a sluggish pitch. However, Curran's composed demeanor and skillful play ensured their fifth victory of the season, as he remained unbeaten on 63 runs from 41 balls, including five boundaries and three sixes. Punjab Kings reached 145/5 in 18.5 overs.
