Kolkata Knight Riders won one run against Rajasthan Royals at Eden Garden on Sunday, 4 May. With this nervous-jolting win, KKR maintained his hopes to qualify for the playoffs.
KKR posted 206/4 at the end of its 20-over quota. In the first innings, Sunil Narine (11 on nine hours) fell quickly. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (25 to 35) and Ajinkya Rahane (30 for 24) stuck with a couple of the 30s. The 44 -run knock by Angkrish Raghuvanshi laid the foundation for the rest of the batsmen. Andre Russell (57 runs 25) and Rinku Singh (six to 19 runs) ended the innings an impressive.
Jofra Archer (1/30 in four overs) and Ryan Parag (1/21 in three overs) were standout artists for visitors. Vanindu Hasranga became wicket -free in his four overs. Yudhivir Singh and Mahesh Thekshana took one wicket to Apis. However, both were expensive in their mantras.
RR was two-down within its first two overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (four of the two) and Kunal Singh Rathore (zero to five) were the batsmen who have departed early in run-chase. RR was in all kinds of trouble after losing half of his side with the completion of the eighth over. The color of the game was changed at 13th of 32 runs by Parag of Moeen Ali's third over.
However, the standby skipper reduced its first IPL tonne by five runs. He left 95 for 45 runs. Parag's knock included six fours and eight sixes. Shubam Dubey finally tried his best with 25 (14). However, it was not for RR to be. Moin, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakraborty all took some wickets.
