Co-owner of KKR Shahrukh khanWatching from the stands, you should be proud of the young men on your team who made the difference between the two sides.

RR hitters should have learned a thing or two along the way Shubman gill batted. The Punjabi boy did not play a false shot even in this version of the hit game. But at the same time he made sure the scoreboard kept going.
In contrast, RR’s hitters appeared to still be under their euphoric victories in Sharjah and perished trying to play shots too early on a track that was played slow and the limits longer.
That’s since Match 12 when the @KKRiders win by 37 races and record their second win of the season. # Dream11IPL… https://t.co/fd3qnsIP9S

Pat cummins drew first blood claiming Smith got caught on his first change. But it was a day for the young Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti to repay the faith the franchise had shown in them. The two former U19 World Cup champions from India were out for a long time with injuries. But the KKR team management decided to carry them out despite releasing a number of old faces.
Mavi claimed the prized wicket of in form Sanju samson whose shot at the wrong time was caught by Narine in the middle of the wicket. The pacemaker, in his next over, took out Jos Buttler caught in the third man short by Varun Chakravarthy.
He then took an easy catch to fire former Knight Robin Uthappa on the back square leg that sparked Nagarkoti’s first IPL inning. The boy from Rajasthan had Riyan Parag in the same house as well. Nagarkoti also triggered a spectacular dive catch to finish Jofra archerenergetic inputs.
Another young Chakravarthy joined the party cleaning up RR’s latest party hero, Rahul Tewatia.
Previously, KKR’s middle order failed to capitalize on a good start given by Gill before Archer caught him and pitched for a well-made 47 of 34 balls (5×4, 1×6).
Antillean Andre Russell could not live up to expectations. Walking at bat at No. 4 ahead of the pattern Dinesh Karthik and Vice Captain Eoin Morgan, opened with two sixes from Shreyas Gopal. But RR must have gotten the message from her mentor Shane Warne, who came out of quarantine on Wednesday. Watching the guys play from the arcade, the big twist was seen telling players to challenge Russell at the wider offside boundary. The Pacer Ankit Rajpoot got the result, as the off-roader was caught at the deep point limit by Jaydev Unadkat by a quick 24 of 14 balls.
RR, however, should be grateful to Archer, who not only got two key wickets, but also gave the team a chance by keeping things tight by conceding just 18 runs of his four overs.
