North 24 Parganas (India) correspondent: What a sensational performence by Kolkata Knight Riders! They convincingly put themselves ahead of every other team to seal the 4th spot. KKR, who had won 2 out of their first 7 games, came back too strong and finished their group stage matches with 5 wins off the remaining 7 games in UAE.
Rajasthan Royals had only one thing in the whole match – the toss. After that everything went sideways for RR. Opener Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer dominated the RR bowling attack scoring 1st wicket partnership of 79 runs. Gill scored consecutive fifties.
Rahul Triptathi, Nitish Rana and Dinesh Karthik played valuable knocks. But the most important scorer was Captain Eon Morgan who scored 13 runs with one four and one six. RR bowling was pretty ordinary. They conceded 171 runs, the highest score in the 2nd leg of IPL.
KKR needed to finish with a big win in order to make it even more difficult for MI to qualify. Shivam Nabi and Lockie Ferguson literally crushed the top order of Royals. Mavi took 4 wickets and Ferguson 3. Shivam Mavi was adjudged the Man of the Match for his magnificent performance.
