Rashid started by dismissing Andre Russell. Russell, batting on a single, tried to smash a back-of-a-length delivery but only managed an inside edge that ended up in the hand of KS Bharat behind the stumps. The GT captain took a review, and the umpire had to reverse the decision. Sunil Narine followed next and failed to clear the deep mid-wicket boundary, while Shardul Thakur could not pick up the googly as the ball hit the back leg. Although Kolkata won the GT vs KKR game after Rinku Singh smashed 5 sixes in the final over.

GT vs KKR:

The Titans turned around the game when Alzarri Joseph dismissed the dangerous Venkatesh Iyer for a 39-ball 83 in his final over to finish with figures of 4-0-27-2. Iyer built a 100-run stand with Nitish Rana, who also fell to Joseph. Rashid conceded 35 runs in his first three wicketless overs. He returned to pick up three wickets and become only the second IPL captain to pick a hat-trick. Shane Watson was the first captain who picked a hattrick as a captain in IPL 2014.

Despite Rashid Khan's heroics with the ball, middle-order batter Rinku Singh came out on top as KKR snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Needing 29 to win off the final over, the left-handed batter smashed five consecutive sixes to send KKR fans into delirium, staying unbeaten on 48 off 21. Yash Dayal, the left-arm pacer sent down two full tosses, and Singh did not miss out on the same.
