Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Rajasthan Royals by 86 runs, containing RR at 85/10, & almost cementing their playoff berth. After the win, KKR captain Eoin Morgan said, " Losing the toss and having to set was a difficult challenge. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill have been the shining lights for us in the second half. I thought we were brilliant to take the opportunities. If you got too hard too early here, you could get out. "

"I thought our batters timed their assault very well. Shakib coming in and performing has made missing Andre Russell a little bit easier because Russ is a genuine batter and bowler. We knew he recovers quickly, so we are assessing day by day. We did everything we had to do."

Kolkata Knight Riders - 171/4 in 20 overs (Gill - 56(44))
