Rajasthan Royals finally broke the winning streak of Punjab Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on April 28.

The Riyan Parag-led side beat PBKS after chasing down 223 in Mullanpur. With 58 runs required off the last five overs, Shubham Dubey and Donovan Ferreira tuned up as RR's heroes.

They defied a stellar middle-over spell by Yuzvendra Chahal.

Although RR crossed 100 within 10 overs, Chahal inspired some hope in the PBKS camp by dismissing Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel. His third victim was skipper Riyan Parag.

Chahal conceded 36 runs in four overs.
