Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) kept their IPL 2021 playoffs hopes alive with a 6-wicket win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. First, KKR bowlers Tim Southee, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Shivam Mavi bagged two wickets each to help their side restrict Hyderabad to 115/8 in 20 overs. In response, courtesy of Shubman Gill's innings of 57, his 55-run stand with Nitish Rana, and a late 18-run cameo by Dinesh Karthik, Kolkata crossed the line for six-wicket win with 2 balls to spare.
