That's a daunting total posted by Kolkata Knight Riders in this all-important clash. Narine departed early today, however, Gurbaz and Rahane had a pivotal partnership for the second wicket as they laid the foundation. Gurbaz wasn't able to convert his start, neither was Rahane, but young - Raghuvanshi played an impressive innings as as he mixed caution with aggression. Was a calm and composed innings by the youngster as he held one end tight in the middle overs. He was soon joined by Andre Russell who was promoted up the batting order once Rahane was dismissed. Dre Russ took his time to settle in against the RR spinners, and once he was set, he punished the bowlers to all parts of the park. He smashed more than 20 runs against Theekshana in the 18th over and he was punitive against Jofra Archer too. Rinku Singh played a cameo towards the end and powered KKR over the 200-run mark. Madhwal could feel the pressure in the final over as he conceded 22 runs. The batters have done their job, upto the KKR bowlers to complement their effort.
