After losing five consecutive games, Kolkata finally got a win to their name as they beat Rajasthan by seven wickets. It was a clinical performance from the Shreyas Iyer-led side, to say the least. As for the Sanju Samson-led side, this is their fourth loss in 10 games in the 2022 edition.

Despite losing the game, Trent Boult was one of the few positives for them from the game. The Kiwi pacer was superb as he only gave 25 runs in his full quota of four overs. In the process, he also picked a wicket. However, he was at the receiving end of a comical error.
Fans witnessed an absolutely hilarious incident during the third over of the second innings. Baba Indrajith hit the ball towards mid-on. After Prasidh Krishna collected it, he aimed for a direct hit, but completely missed his aim. Instead of hitting the stumps, he ended up hitting Boult. However, the pacer did well to jump in on time.
Due to which, the ball hit his shoes, and he saved himself from a potential injury. However, this allowed the Kolkata batters to steal an extra run. Nevertheless, Yuzvendra Chahal went to check if Boult was fine. Several fielders started to laugh at this chuckle-worthy moment. As a matter of fact, Boult himself was laughing after falling to the ground.
Even the commentators started to chuckle at the same. The video of this incident then went viral as well. Several fans reacted to it. As far as the game is concerned, Indrajith was then dismissed by Prasidh Krishna in the sixth over.

After an unimpressive performance by Kolkata's openers, Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana put on a handy partnership before the Kolkata skipper had to depart in the 13th over. Rinku Singh then joined the 28-year-old in the middle. Both the batters ensured that the Kolkata-based franchise ended up on the winning side. Thus, Kolkata chased their target with five balls to spare.
