One of the ploys that yielded RR has come from Trent Boult. Having taken the wicket of Quinton de Kock already, Boult was relentless in his pursuit and snared away with the wicket of Devdutt Padikkal as well in his second over. It was the first delivery of the 3rd over, Boult banged in short, the length and speed left Padikkal flabbergasted. The ball hit his helmet and due to the impact, a covering inside the helmet also spewed out. The medic immediately marched onto the field and checked for a possible concussion.
