Rajasthan Royals' Jofra Archer struck on the first ball, dismissing Sharma for a golden duck. The crowd at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium was silenced by the swift dismissal.

Sharma attempted an aggressive shot but managed only a thick top edge, which was comfortably caught by Ravi Bishnoi at third man.
