Andre Russell delivered the final blow as KKR wrapped up a dominant victory at Eden Gardens. Harshal Patel attempted a wild heave across the line but only managed to send the ball straight up in the air. Russell calmly took the catch, sealing SRH’s crushing defeat.  

It was a one-sided affair, with KKR outclassing their opponents in every department. SRH’s batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure, and their chase never gained any real momentum. The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.  

This emphatic win will be a massive boost for KKR, not just in points but also in net run rate. Meanwhile, SRH will have plenty to reflect on as they attempt to bounce back from this heavy defeat. KKR win by 80 runs.

Here’s the next part of the summary:

Varun Chakravarthy struck twice in the 16th over, tightening KKR’s grip on the match. Pat Cummins fell first, miscuing a slog straight to long on, leaving SRH reeling at eight down. Simarjeet Singh followed immediately, bowled through the gate by a stunning delivery that spun sharply back in.

With SRH down to their last wicket, Mohammed Shami walked in to join Harshal Patel. Chakravarthy nearly completed a hat-trick, but Shami survived. The required run rate had skyrocketed to 21 runs per over, making SRH’s task nearly impossible.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack continued to strangle SRH, with Varun and Arora leading the charge. Every dot ball pushed SRH further into desperation, and their chase looked all but over.

Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over as Kamindu Mendis mistimed a pull shot straight to deep midwicket. Aniket Verma walked in and immediately made his presence felt with a classy boundary. However, with SRH needing 129 off the last 10 overs, the pressure was mounting.

Varun Chakravarthy joined the attack in the 11th over and removed Aniket Verma, who miscued a slog to deep midwicket. Pat Cummins arrived at the crease and got off the mark with a cheeky lap shot for four. Klaasen, at the other end, looked determined to take the game deep.

Klaasen took charge in the 14th over, smashing Narine for back-to-back sixes to keep SRH's hopes alive. However, KKR missed a chance to dismiss him when UltraEdge revealed a nick that went unnoticed. With the required run rate soaring past 15, SRH needed something special.

Vaibhav Arora delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over, dismissing Klaasen for 33 with a well-disguised slower bouncer. SRH’s chase took another hit, leaving Cummins and Harshal Patel with an uphill task. Despite some quick singles, the asking rate climbed to an almost impossible 17.4 runs per over.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Arora and Narine, kept SRH in check. The fall of Klaasen all but sealed the game for KKR, with only tailenders left to chase an improbable 87 off 30 balls. Cummins and Harshal needed a miracle from there.

With the match slipping away, SRH’s batters struggled to find the boundary. KKR’s bowlers maintained tight lines, and the fielders backed them up with sharp work. As the equation worsened, KKR edged closer to sealing a convincing victory at Eden Gardens.

Kamindu Mendis takes on Russell with two massive sixes and a cracking four.  

Nitish Kumar Reddy throws his wicket away with a soft flick straight to Narine. He won’t believe how easily he gifted that.  

Klaasen joins Kamindu, keeping the strike moving.  

SRH in trouble at 51/4 after 7 overs.

Sunrisers only managed to get 33 from the powerplay and they are now falling far behind of total. 

Arora struck in the first ball as Ajinkya Rahane took a top catch to dismiss Ishan Kishan.

Arora could have had a double-wicket maiden if Russell had not missed Kamindu Mendis’s catch in the final ball.

SRH 9/3 after 3. 

Rapid Rahane, Rampant #KKR 🔝 👊

A superb catch to highlight a dream start for KKR in the field 👌

After two singles in the next four balls, Raghuvanshi took advantage of a full toss in the final ball to get a four through the cover region!

KKR 71/2 after 8. 

On a wicket where we can expect a slow turn, SRH introduces spin in the 7th over. 

A couple came from the first ball and then Rahane punched one for a four, helped by a missed fielding by Nitish Kumar Reddy on the boundary line. 

Zeeshan bowled a tad short in that over but it was not coming not to the bat that great for Rahane to take charge. 

KKR 63/2 after 8 as we head into a break. 

It was a good power play for KKR after a poor start. 

Rahane welcomed Simranjit Singh with a six over deep mid-wicket, and then Angkrish Raghuvanshi hooked one for a six over deep fine leg to make it 15 from the over. 

Rahane and Raghuvanshi are looking good now for KKR. 

KKR 53/2 after 6. 

Raghuvanshi took a single in the first ball and after playing two dots, a desperate Rahane played a paddle to scoop Shami over deep square leg for a six.

KKR 38/2 after 5! 

After Angkrish Raghuvanshi tried to come down the track against the pace and bounce of Cummins, he finally was able to rotate the strike. 

But it was Ajinkya Rahane who picked out a length ball to launch a six over deep mid-wicket. 

9 from the over and KKR are 26/2 after 4. 

KKR are now in early trouble. 

Shami gets it up there around the block hole, around the off-side!

Narine backed away and looked to slice the ball through the gully region! 

He only managed to get an edge to Klassen! 

KKR 17/2 after three overs! 

Pat Cummins gets the better off Quinton de Kock! 

Cummins pitched it short and knew the southpaw batter will go for the shot. 

Quinton made a good connection but it went straight to the only deep fielder on the leg side. 

Earlier Sunil Narine started the over well with a six over leg side but SRH ended the over on a happy note! 

KKR 14/1 after 2! 

Steady start from both sides! 

Four leg byes from Shami was the only poor thing we had in the over.

Shami is someone who knows this wicket and ground. 

Seven from the first over!

Kolkata Knight Riders XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane (capt), Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy

KKR subs: Manish Pandey, Vaibhav Arora, Anukul Roy, Rovman Powell, Luvnith Sisodia

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss, and they will bowl first.

The story is almost the same for SRH, but they have a better NRR than KKR.

After winning their first match of the season, with nearly a record first inning total, SRH could not keep their momentum. They lost their second game at home against Lucknow Super Giants and then suffered a huge defeat against Delhi Captials in Visakhapatnam. 

1 win in 3 games and 2 defeats; the defending champions have not looked their best till now. They first faced a defeat in the opening match of the season at Eden Gardens. Then, they came back with a win over RR in Guwahati. However, the could not keep the momentum as they faced a huge defeat against Mumbai at Wankhede. 

After many rumours and speculations, we will see a dry pitch at Eden Gardens, which will surely help the spinners of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Ajinkya Rahane and company will surely look to take the "home advantage" to restrict the batting lineup of SRH. 

However, SRH also has someone like Adam Zampa in their ranks, who can be lethal on this wicket as well, 

KKR has dominated the team from South India in the IPL so far. In the 28 games between the teams so far, KKR has won 19 and SRH, in the meantime, were victorious only 9 times. 

Moreover, currently, KKR has a 4 games winning streak over SRH in IPL.

Salt steps out, and absolutely clatters this over deep midwicket, and the ball has gone over the roof and outside the stadium. That was 105 metres long.

Salt gets an inside edge on the pull, and he runs across for a quick single. A direct-hit from Siraj at the non-striker’s would have meant curtains for Salt. Second life for him tonight.

A single for Salt at mid-on to end the over. 

As Siraj goes full and Patidar is rapped on the front pad. However, umpire turns the appeal down and Gujarat doesn’t review, probabaly knowing that was missing leg-stump. 

Siraj bowls one outside off to the RCB skipper, who lets the ball go. However, umpire calls it a dead-ball, so Siraj will have to reload that one. 

Siraj Bowled him and Padikkal has to go.

The left-hander stepped out to hammer this on the off-side, but the ball was angling away and knocked into off-stump. 

Devdutt Padikkal is off the mark with a boundary. He drives through point and a misfield allows him to collect four runs. 

Kohli holes out at deep square-leg and the Chinnaswamy is silenced.

Buttler has spilt this chance behind the stumps. Salt stepped out looking to go over covers, but got an edge to the the wicketkeeper, who drops an easy one.

RCB 6/0 in 1 over.

Virat Kohli and Phil Salt are in the middle to kick start the innings, and Mohammed Siraj will shortly be bowling against his former team.

That battle should spice things up and lend this already tantalising contest some more context. 

Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar(c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal.

Gujarat Titans wins the toss, opts to bowl first.

The rain is likely to scare the clash between RCB and GT on April 2. However, there are no predictions of rain during match hours but the clouds will still be there. The maximum temperature is expected to be around 31 degrees with 46% humidity.

The surface of the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium has been a paradise for the batters throughout the years. We usually see high-scoring clashes at this ground where the team batting first looks to get past 200 runs.

However, the fast bowlers can turn out to be effective with the new ball. The team batting first has won 41 matches at this ground in the IPL while the chasing team has won 50 times. The average score batting first at this ground is around 167 to 168 runs.
