Shanaka's promising innings comes to a tame end. The Sri Lankan, who stroked 29 from 15 balls, is run out after a huge misunderstanding with Jurel.
Jurel had tapped it to point and set off for a quick single as Shanaka responded. But Jurel decided to turn back leaving Shanaka with no chance to make his crease.
Thakur had fumbled initially at point but Shanaka was too far down the pitch. Infact, the bowler Corbin Bosch also failed to gather the ball cleanly but recovered quickly to break the stumps at the non-striker's end.
That is a huge blow for Royals as they slip to 99/4 in 10.3 overs.
