19.3: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, Full and outside leg. Rinku swings and misses, takes it on the pad. Anukul is already charging through for a single but is sent back in a hurry. Brijesh collects in his follow-through but holds his throw. Anukul dives at the non-striker's end just in case. Dot ball.
- 4
19.2: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, FOUR! That is Rinku at his very best. Full and angled across outside off. Rinku drives hard on the front foot over cover, finds the middle, and it bounces through to the fence. SCORES ARE LEVEL NOW!
- 4
19.1: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, FOUR! Is that the game for KKR? Brijesh errs in line and length both. This is short with pace taken off, and angled onto the leg stump. Rinku Singh waits for the ball to arrive and pulls it behind square to the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.

18.6: Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, Excellent bit of running between the wickets! Archer fires in a full toss, almost knee-high, around off. Anukul Roy is late on the shot due to excessive pace and can only drill it in the mid off region. However, the fielders are in the deep on the off side and by the time the long off fielder could charge in, they cross over for two runs.
- 1
18.5: Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, Fires in fuller and on the off pole. Rinku Singh shovels it out toward deep point for a single only.
- 1
18.4: Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, With long off pushed back now, this is a defensive yorker, outside off. Roy carves it to the sweeper cover for a single.
- 6
18.3: Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, SIX! That will bring a lot more relief in that KKR dugout! Misses the yorker by just a bit, does Archer. It is full in the slot, on off. Anukul Roy gets his bat under the ball, stands firm, backs his power and muscles it over the long off fence for a cracking six. 13 needed off 9 balls now.
- 1
18.2: Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, Attempted yorker, around off. Rinku cannot get under it cleanly and heaves it off the toe end to long on for a single.
- 1
18.1: Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, Cannons in full and on middle, almost a yorker, at around 150 kph. Anukul Roy clears the front leg and crashes it to mid off's left, but the fielder, Riyan Parag, is quick to dive across in that direction and cuts it off nicely. One taken.

17.5: Brijesh Sharma to Anukul Roy, FOUR! Crucial runs for KKR! Frustration creeping in for the Royals. Short ball, on leg, Rinku backs away and looks to swat-pull. Gets a bottom edge onto his back thigh instead, and the ball deflects and beats Jurel diving to his left. Races away to the fence behind.
- 1
17.4: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, Nicely bowled again. Brijesh follows the batter as Rinku moves past the leg stump, and swipes it away to deep mid-wicket for a single.
- 0
17.3: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, Lands it short outside leg again, does Sharma. Rinku walks across the stumps and goes for the pull, catches the toe end, and it skips through to Jurel on the bounce.
- 1WD
17.3: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, WIDE! This one is clearly an extra. Over-the-head short ball, wide outside off. Rinku lets it be. Wide called.

17.2: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, Drama! Pitched on a length outside leg. Rinku sits down and swings across and misses. Not called a wide again. It actually passed very close to the leg stump as well.
- 0
17.1: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, Pitched outside leg on a good length. Rinku shuffles to the off side, and tries to glance it fine on the leg side, but misses. No wide given again and Rinku is left flummoxed by that. But they cannot review as KKR have no reviews remaining. Kumar Dharmasena cites that Rinku moved a bit too much across the stumps.

19.6: Vaibhav Arora to Jofra Archer, OUT! JOFRA IS RUN OUT! Back of a length, around middle and off, Jofra Archer shuffles across and looks to scoop but misses. Tim Seifert gathers this and throws this towards the bowler as the batters run for a bye. Vaibhav fumbles at first and Jofra turns for the second. Vaibhav Arora picks it up and throws it back to the keeper. Tim Seifert gathers this well and dislodges the stumps at the striker's end with Jofra well short of his crease. This is checked upstairs and the ball appears to be in Tim's gloves as he removes the stumps with the batter far away. A bye and a wicket to close the innings. Rajasthan Royals end with 155 for 9.
- 4
19.5: Vaibhav Arora to Jofra Archer, FOUR! Short-pitched delivery, around middle and leg, Jofra Archer hits this to the left of Kartik Tyagi at fine leg and adds four more to the total. Tyagi was looking to field this but fails to flick it back inside the playing area.

- 0
18.5: Kartik Tyagi to Ravi Bishnoi, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kartik Tyagi has three in an over.

- 0
18.3: Kartik Tyagi to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Second success for Kartik in this over. A below the knee full toss, on leg. Shimron Hetmyer looks to flick this towards the square leg region but gets a leading edge that hangs over Angkrish Raghuvanshi at deep backward point, who makes no mistake and holds onto it. Hetmyer doesn't want to leave and wants a No Ball call for height but he isn't going to get it.
- 1
18.2: Kartik Tyagi to Jofra Archer, Jofra hits this length delivery from Kartik a bit too well as he smashes the stumps on the other end. The ball deflects off the stumps and rolls to long on with the batters crossing for a run. A quick check to see if the ball had clipped the hands of Kartik on its way to the stumps and the umpires deem that there wasn't any contact by Kartik.
- 1WD
18.2: Kartik Tyagi to Jofra Archer, WIDE! Good length, way too wide outside the tramline on off. Jofra Archer has a swipe at it but misses. Wided.
- 0
18.1: Kartik Tyagi to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT! Jadeja finds the safest pair of hands and has to walk back. Short and around middle and off, Ravindra Jadeja intentionally plays this behind square on leg but ends up finding Cameron Green at deep backward square leg. Green runs to his left and takes a good diving catch to his left.

17.6: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, Full and wide of off, Ravindra Jadeja guides this to deep third for a single.
- 1
17.5: Ramandeep Singh to Shimron Hetmyer, DROPPED! The field was set for this ball only but Vaibhav Arora has let Ramandeep Singh down by dropping a sitter. A well-directed bumper, on middle and leg, Shimron Hetmyer goes for a pull but mishits it and top-edges this around backward square leg, where Vaibhav Arora was stationed. Vaibhav tracks back and fails to settle himself under it. Vaibhav ends up dropping it and the batters get another single.
- 1
17.4: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, Short and wide of off, Ravindra Jadeja goes for the pull but doesn't hit this well and ends up pulling this from the bottom half of his bat. This was within catching distance of Anukul Roy at deep mid-wicket but he fails to pick it up and fields this on the bounce as the batters pick up a single.
- 1WD
17.4: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, WIDE! Jadeja's movement across the stumps is playing on the mind of Ramandeep as he once again bowls it full and way too wide outside the tramline on off.
- 1WD
17.4: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, WIDE! Full and a bit too wide outside off. Ravindra Jadeja looks to get bat on ball but misses and the umpire calls it a wide.
- 4
17.3: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! This has been played really well by Jadeja. Short-pitched, wide of off, Ravindra Jadeja was expecting it as he shuffled early across the stumps. Jadeja pulls this in the gap between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for four runs here.
- 2
17.2: Ramandeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, On a length, wide of off, Ravindra Jadeja steps across, collapses his back knee and sweeps this to the left of deep mid-wicket for a couple.
- 1
17.1: Ramandeep Singh to Shimron Hetmyer, Good length, around middle and leg, Shimron Hetmyer tucks this through mid-wicket for a single.
19.4: Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, SIX! Rinku Singh ends KKR's drought of wins this season. Brijesh bangs it in short and around leg, at shoulder height. Rinku gets underneath it, swivels, and pulls it extremely fine over long leg. Just enough to clear the rope for a six. With this, Rinku gets off to his FIFTY and brings his A-game when needed the most. Remember, he was dropped by Burger while batting on 8 runs, and one would now feel that was the turning point of the game. Regardless, a knock of high quality from Rinku Singh. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS WIN BY 4 WICKETS!
