After asked to bat first by David Warner, Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana opened for Kolkata Knight Riders as Rana straightaway hit a boundary of the first ball bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Following that, Shubman Gill continued the trend by doing the same in his next over. However, he has been removed by Rashid Khan for 15 runs. Rahul Tripathi joined the 27-year-old and added 83 runs for the 3rd wicket partnership before being dismissed by Natarajan for 53 runs.
Andre Russell and Nitish Rana followed him in back to back overs and been removed by the SRH bowlers for 5 and 80 runs respectively.
Dinesh Karthik played a quickfire of 22 from 9 balls including two boundaries and a six to his name. In the end, Kolkata Knight Riders have posted a challenging total of 187 runs on the board.
Rashid Khan has been exceptional as he removed Shubman Gill and dangerous Andre Russell for cheap. Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the game as they failed to chase down the target of 188 runs posted by Kolkata Knight Riders.
Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey's 65 and 51 saved SRH in the middle and Abdul Samad's 19 off 8 balls almost took the game to the end.
