After a tough powerplay where Kolkata leaked 80 runs without any wicket, they saw Phil Salt celebrating his fifty with a fine boundary in the seventh over. A silent eighth over from Sunil Narine put pressure on Bengaluru, and it resulted in Salt's wicket during Varun Chakravarthy’s over in the ninth over.

But Virat Kohli kept his onslaught batting going for the next few overs, with at least one boundary coming off the new few overs. Narine sent back Devdutt Paddikal, but Rajat Patidar came out with full intent with the 175-run chase and smashed 30 runs in 14 balls.

KKR gave away 77 runs in the nine overs from the seventh to the 15th over for just two wickets. It was a poor performance from a franchise that has two quality spinners in the squad. They hope for better contributions from the two quality bowlers in the RR vs KKR encounter.

Rajasthan hardly had any answer to Hyderabad’s aggressive batting in the opening game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Travis Head continued to nail the fast bowlers around the park while Ishan Kishan joined him in the party.

After Head’s wicket, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klassen continued the batting in the same fashion. The aim was to get around 250 runs on the board. After 15 overs, the Sunrisers finished with 208 runs, which means 114 runs came for the loss of two wickets in nine overs during the middle phase.

Wanindu Hasaranga could make his debut for the Rajasthan Royals in the RR vs KKR clash, which will offer the Riyan Parag-led side a chance to plan for wickets in the middle overs.
