RR win

There it is, The Rajasthan Royals have the won the match by 6 wickets. Captain Sanju Samson hits the winning runs, it has been a very matured innings from the right-hander. Fourth straight loss for KKR.

Apr 24, 2021, 23:15:03 IST

RR need 5 off 12 balls

Another productive over for RR and they now need only 5 runs to win this match.

Apr 24, 2021, 23:12:30 IST

8 runs from Cummins' over

Just the over RR needed at this crunch situation, 8 runs without a wicket. One would have to believe that this Cummins over was Eoin Morgan's last roll of the dice to get a breakthrough. But Miller and Samson held their nerves.

Apr 24, 2021, 23:04:28 IST

16 overs bowled

A couple to end the over and 16 over s have been bowled in the RR chase. They need 21 runs off 24 balls. KKR would still believe they are in this, if they can somehow get the wicket of Samson.

Apr 24, 2021, 23:01:54 IST

Important boundary

Nitish Rana should have done better there. He jumped over the ball and it rolled over the boundary ropes to give important four runs to David Miller and Rajasthan Royals. KKR can't afford these easy runs now.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:59:31 IST

Last 5 overs coming up

As astonishing as it may sound, the match is still alive and we have seen funny things happen to chasing sides. RR need 30 runs off 30 balls with experienced player Samson and Miller in the crease.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:52:57 IST

Miller survives, thanks to DRS

David Miller reviews straightaway! It was almost an afterthought by the umpire to give that one out. It did appear to be pitching outside leg to the naked eye and the replays confirm it. So Miller survives and Mavi will have to go back to his mark empty-handed.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:47:54 IST

Krishna strikes in first over

OUT! Prasidh Krishna strikes in his first over. A bit of a nothing shot from Tewetia but that's the way he plays. RR 100 for 4, can they mess it up from here? Surely they can't with Sanju Samson still batting in the middle.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:46:16 IST

100 up for the Royals

A dab to third man from Sanju Samson for a single, which brings up the 100 for the Rajasthan Royals.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:42:55 IST

Almost the third wicket for Varun Chakravarthy

Shubman Gill had done a brilliant job first to get to the ball, then time his jump to perfection to hold onto the catch but when he threw the ball back in play as his body weight was carrying him over the ropes, he did not have enough time to run back and complete the catch. Rahul Tewatia survives.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:36:17 IST

Chakravarthy gets his second

OUT! Shivam Dube went for the extravagant sweep shot but ended up getting a top edge and Prasidh Krishna takes an easy catch at short third man. Can KKR turn thigs around?

Apr 24, 2021, 22:30:08 IST

10 overs bowled

Sunil Narine concedes 8 in his over. We are halfway through the RR chase and they are comfortably placed at 80 for 2, need 54 more runs to win in 60 balls, should be a cake walk but we've seen funny things happen in the IPL.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:24:39 IST

RR in strong position

The umpires signal for the first strategic timeout and no prizes to guess which side is the happier going into it. RR are at 72 for 9, chasing 134 for victory with two set batsmen Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube in the crease.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:20:51 IST

Samson goes big

SIX! That is hammered! Short delivery on off, Samson pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum. That's the thing with Samson, he looks like a billion-dollars when he gets going.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:15:55 IST

FREE HIT

Narine has bowled a free hit in the seventh over. But it was well bowled as lonely a single came off it.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:13:31 IST

Impressive Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy has been impressive again this season. After a breakthrough season in IPL 2020, Varun is bowling well in this edition also and has regularly troubled batsmen in the powerplays.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:09:40 IST

Dube starts with a six

Shivam Dube faces Sunil Narine and hits a massive six on his third ball.

Apr 24, 2021, 22:05:55 IST

Mavi gets Jaiswal

OUT! End of a good-looking innings from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shivam Mavi gets the breakthrough for KKR. One shot too many for the young left-hander, who was looking in fine touch but Mavi gets the last laugh. A good catch in the deep by Nagarkoti.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:59:21 IST

Jaiswal continues in his merry way

FOUR! What a shot from Yashasvi Jaiswal. He is in some form today. A fuller delivery from Chakravarthy, slightly over pitched and Jaiswal drives it through covers for another boundary. RR: 30/1 after 4 overs.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:56:51 IST

Four and out

OUT! Varun Chakravarthy straightaway into the action. Jos Buttler welcomed him with a booming cover drive for a boundary and then the KKR spinner came back with a delivery that spun back to hit Buttler right in front. Buttler goes for 5.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:51:38 IST

Jaiswal in top form

FOUR! Brilliant use of the feet from Yashasvi Jaiswal. He looks in exquisite toch today. Just a shimmy down the pitch and flicks it past the mid on fielder to collect a boundary. RR have gotten off to solid start.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:47:15 IST

Buttler's been hit on the helmet

OUCH! That must have hurt. A fast bouncer from Pat Cummins, Buttler looked to pull it but was beaten for pace and the ball hit the back of his helmet. He looked jittery and currently the physios are out there in the middle checking for concussion. Looks like Buttler is fine and will carry on.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:45:36 IST

Successive fours off Jaiswal's bat

FOUR! Two in a row! Width on offer, outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal frees his arms and cuts it past the diving point fielder and to the fence. FOUR! Elegant! Full ball, on the pads. Yashasvi Jaiswal flicks it to the mid-wicket fence. The fielder from deep square leg runs across but can't stop it.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:44:25 IST

Good start by Shivam Mavi

A very good start by Shivam Mavi. He would have the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal had Shubman Gill taken the catch at backward point.

Apr 24, 2021, 21:22:39 IST

Chris Morris finishes with 4 wickets

BOWLED! The perfect finish to the innings for Rajasthan Royals and Chris Morris. He bows Shivam Mavi to end with figures of 4 for 23. The Rajasthan Royals restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to 133 for 9 after opting to field first in Mumbai.
