Kolkata Knight Riders end their 4-match losing streak on the back of a good all-round performance. Chasing 201, RCB came out all guns blazing scoring 30 runs off the first two overs. Nitish Rana quickly turned to spin and Suyash Sharma, the 19-year-old leggie, provided the crucial breakthrough in his very first over by removing the leading run-getter of this IPL - Faf du Plessis. He trapped Shahbaz Ahmed in his following over and Chakaravarthy nipped out Maxwell in the final over of the powerplay. For the first time in this season, RCB had lost three wickets inside six overs and they'd lost two of their in-form batsmen as well in the process. Lomror, who had a quiet tournament so far, took the aggressor's role as he and Kohli forged a half-ton partnership. KKR fought back as they removed both the set batters within a span of five deliveries. While Lomror fell to a short ball, a superb catch from Venkatesh Iyer ended Kohli's knock. Post that, the visitors kept chipping in with wickets and never allowed RCB back into the game. Earlier in the evening, Jason Roy scored a balzing fifty, the Kinght Riders lost a bit of momentum but captain Rana made RCB pay dearly for those two drops. And then, Wiese and Rinku Singh applied the finishing touches to take their team's total to 200.

11.15pm Virat Kohli says, and this is not verbatim: To be honest we handed over the game to them. We deserved to lose. We weren't professional enough. We bowled well but fielding was not up to standard. This was a freebie handed over to them. In the field, we dropped two chances, that cost us 25-30 runs. When batting, we set us ourselves up very well, but then four-five soft dismissals. Not wicket-taking balls but we hit straight to the fielders. Even while chasing, after losing wickets, one partnership brought us back in the game. We were one partnership short. We need to stay switched on, and not give away soft plays.

Ya but Faf is in such a good form, cant ignore him. Oh well i hope so too that he gets potm

Virat Kohli: To be honest we handed them the game. We did deserve to lose. We handed them a victory. We were certainly not up to standard. If you look at the game, we didn't capitalize our chances. We dropped a few chances which cost us 25-30 runs. We set up ourselves really well. We ended up hitting the fielder to balls which weren't wicket taking. It is what's on the scoreboard and how to get them. Even while chasing, despite losing wickets we were one partnership away from being in the game. We needed one partnership to get us home. We need to be switched on and not give away soft plays. We have won one and lost one on the road. It is not something that is making us nervous. We need to win some away games to be in good shape for the later stages of the tournament.
