END OF OVER:
20 | 7 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 149/8 | RR: 7.45

  • Anukul Roy6 (6b)
  • Sandeep Sharma4-0-34-1
  • Yuzvendra Chahal4-0-25-4

Shahrukh Khan's songs play in Eden Gardens during the break.

Viju Abraham : "The powerplay overs will be crucial. If RR can score 60-70 runs in the first six overs and not lose wickets , they can coast to a much needed win!"

Yuzvendra Chahal gets his purple cap: I just wanted to not give easy boundaries, hold a line and length and keep it away from the batters because the wicket was slow and helping the batters. I never thought I'd be the highest wicket taker when I started with MIs. Lots of ups and downs, I've learned a lot from the downs and the folks around me. Getting the win will be the focus and, hopefully, the reason for celebrating.

9:15pm: KKR can't reach 150 but that will be the target. They had periods where batters struggled, then had big overs before slipping again. RR's fielding and Chahal becoming the highest IPL wicket taker were highlights. Boult bowled well in the powerplay despite not getting swing, he struck twice. Iyer was tied up, he got a big over off Ashwin and hit four sixes and top scored with 57. Chahal was the star with his four-for. The ball started to grip in the middle overs and the visitors did well to restrict KKR's middle-order bats who got starts but not fast-scoring cameos or a big finish.

Jay: "Excellent death bowling by RR - fully negated any thoughts of powerhitting to a good score"

Sandeep Sharma to Narine, no run, Appeal for caught behind, umpires have a chat and go upstairs to check if it landed in front of the keeper. It was an in-between length ball that landed outside off and straightened a bit. Narine tried to flap it over long-on and got an underedge. Samson bent to the right and his gloves were close to the ground, the ball seems to have landed on the grass into the gloves. The third umpire just has a couple of angles, both front-on, but says it definitely has landed.
