IPL 2024: Iyer, Salt, Russell Star As KKR Survive Karn Scare To Beat RCB By One Run (ld)
Impact Player Suyash Prabhudessai: Captain Shreyas Iyer hit a 36-ball fifty, his first half-century in IPL since May 2022, while Phil Salt and Ramandeep Singh smashed quick cameos and Andre Russell followed it up with a three-fer as Kolkata Knight Riders survived a late Karn Sharma scare to clinch a nail-biting victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just one run at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Iyer smashed seven fours and a six to end the day as the top run-scorer for KKR, while Salt sizzled with a 14-ball 48 and Ramandeep produced fireworks in the end with an unbeaten 24 off just nine balls, propelling KKR to a massive 222/6 in 20 overs. In reply, Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar smashed fifties in a 102-run stand for the third wicket to keep RCB in the hunt.
But Russell and Sunil Narine struck decisive blows as RCB went from 137/2 to 155/6. Despite a late scare from Karn in the final over, RCB couldn’t get over the line and were all out for 220 to slump to their seventh defeat of the competition, while KKR now jumped to second place in the points table.
