All it started with Punjab’s batting where they lost 3 crucial wickets in power plays. But they have maintained the scoring rate. Shikhar Dhawan was rotating strikes and other players were playing their shots. At some point, the score was looking to restrict around 165 runs. But Shahrukh Khan and Harpreet Brar took the score to 179 runs. Varun Chakravarthy did his job very well and stuck to his line. It was a turning track and that’s why KKR spinners bowled economic spells but fast bowlers have conceded runs. 

KKR came to bat and was looking for an explosive start. They got a decent start where Rishi Dhawan and Nathan Ellis kept their batters quiet. But later on, Jason Roy and Nitish Rana started boosting their innings. The top-order batsmen have done their job well and left the remaining job for the finishers. Well, Russell was not in prime form this season but this time he was in a different mood.

Rinku Singh also performed really well, smashed some classy shots, and brought his team a win on the last ball. Rahul Chahar bowled an amazing spell of just 23 runs in 4 overs with 2 important wickets. KKR won that match comfortably and claimed 2 important points and came to the fifth position in the points table.
