New Delhi: Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) rode climbed to second spot in the points table following a brilliant all-round effort from Ben Stokes and a scintillating hat-trick from left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat in the final over to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 12 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) tie at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday.
Unadkat returned with figures of 5/30 from his four overs, including the hat-trick in the 20th over, which saw the dismissals of Bipul Sharma, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The left-armer had also accounted for the wickets of the in-form Yuvraj Singh and stumper Naman Ojha to get to his five wicket haul. (IPL 2017 - Photos | Videos)
