KKR 61/4 in 10.2 Overs | RR vs KKR Live Match Score: Kolkata Knight Riders Lose Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan
OUT! Eoin Morgan is run out by Chris Morris. A big mix-up between Morgan and Rahul Tripathi and the former has been run out by Morris. Tripathi slammed the ball straight but the ball hit Morgan’s bat and falls to Morris, who removes the bails at the non-striker’s end with Morgan well short of the crease. Morgan run out (Chris Morris) 0(0)
OUT! Yashasvi Jaiswal takes a spectacular diving catch at deep square leg to remove Sunil Narine. The plan to send the West Indies early has failed to KKR. Jaydev Unadkat bowled a slower delivery and Narine went for the pull but top edges it to backward square leg where Yashasvi takes a brilliant diving catch
OUT! Nitish Rana goes back after edging Chetan Sakariya to Sanju Samson behind. First ball after the timeout and Rana opens up his stance and looks to drive a short ball from Sakariya but only finds an edge to wicket-keeper Samson. Nitish Rana c Samson b Chetan Sakariya 22(25)
OUT! Gone, Shubman Gill is run out by Jos Buttler and KKR have lost their first wicket. Gill, who was struggling to find the gaps, was edgy after playing a number of dot balls in the powerplay. He plays a yorker from Mustafizur Rahman towards mid-off and sets off for a single. But Buttler got quickly to the ball and hits the stump with a sharp throw. Shubman Gill run out (Buttler) 11(19)
Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya have kept tight lines to Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana and prevented the KKR opening pair from making use of the powerplay and finding regular boundaries.

It has been quite a similar story for KKR. They started the season with a 10-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad but have since lost three on the trot. KKR’s top-order looked in great touch in the opening two matches while their middle order struggled. It has been vice-versa in the last two games. The two-time champions need their batting to fire in unison. KKR’s bowling have also been costly with record signing Pat Cummins conceding 58 runs in four overs against CSK.
