KKR vs RR Live Updates: Riyan Parag Cites "Miscalculation" For Defeat ๐ฑ
"I was just sad, about me getting out. I was planning to stay till the last over. We couldn't get much in the 16th and 17th, a miscalculation from my side. Should have finished it. I think we could have found better options in the first six overs. The spinners did really well. We could have looked to cut down some runs with the ball. But the game was in our hands, we should have finished this." - Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag after the match

KKR vs RR Match Updates: Highlights From Russell Blitz ๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฃ
KKR vs RR Match Updates: Innings Summary ๐
What an oustanding score on board for the Knight Riders!! They started off slowly with Sunil Narine falling early whereas the Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ajinkya Rahane provided some push. However, the game changed in the end when Andre Russell joined the party with a blazing fifty where Rinku Singh provided the finishing touches! So, in the end, they finish on 206 with four wickets down!
Rajasthan Royals need 207 to win in 120 balls. Now, can they do it? Depends on how well they start! Don't go anywhere. We'll be back for the chase....
KKR vs RR Live Scorecard: Kolkata Finish On 206!! ๐ช๐ป
Another excellent over for the Knight Riders! What a way to finish the innings! 22 off the last over. Rinku took the charge in the final over with a four and two sixes!! Things escalated quickly for Knights and they have made full use of that! Russell stays unbeaten on 57* off just 25 while Rinku 19* (6) was magnificent!
KKR 206/4 (20)
KKR vs RR Live Score: Russell ๐Archer 2.0 ๐ซจ
12 runs from Archer's final over as he ends with figures of 1/30. Last ball was a chance which was put down in the deep by Riyan Parag! It was hit really hard by Russell and Parag puts down a sharp chance. It would've been a spectacular catch! Also, the wicket of Angkrish Raghuvanshi on the first ball of the over! So, they have crossed 180. Should aim for 200 atleast with Russell on crease!
Moreover, 50 up for the beast! Just 22 deliveries to get there. That's some knock and it has given KKR relief and in fact, a great total so far.
KKR 184/4 (19)
KKR vs RR Live: Russell Tears Apart Theekshana ๐ฑ6๏ธโฃ6๏ธโฃ6๏ธโฃ
ANDRE RUSSELL!!! ANDRE RUSSELL!!! Ohhh!! MY GOODNESSS!!!! That's is outrageous!! 4, 6, 6, 6!! How can you do that! West Indian power!!๐ช๐ปThat is some batting! Maheesh Theekshana goes for 23 off the over!
KKR 172/3 (18)
KKR vs RR Live Updates: Russell ๐Archer ๐ซจ
AND Russell wins!!! 13 off the over with a six and a four coming from the bat of Andre! They need much more strikes like that. Russell is there and so is Raghuvanshi. Now, can they get to 180? They should.
KKR 149/3 (17)
KKR vs RR Scorecard: Russell Joins The Party ๐ฅณ
Now then, Andre Russell turns the beast mode on all of a sudden. Runs flowing thick and fast for Knights in this over, Russell the main man, 15 off the Akash Madhwal over. Two fours and a six!! They are looking at a bigger total now.
KKR 136/3 (16)
KKR vs RR Score Update: Russell On Defense Mode ๐ค๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ
Strategic Time-Out! Rajasthan Royals have bounced back brilliantly, applying pressure and cutting down the boundaries. After a flying start in the powerplay, KKR have lost their momentum and are struggling to accelerate. At the end of 14 overs, they are 113/3 and will now need a big finish to push their total beyond 175. Meanwhile, Andre Russell gets his first run off the sixth delivery he faces!
KKR 113/3 (14)
KKR vs RR Update: Skipper Gets Skipper ๐ซจ
WICKET! Brilliant from Parag and Rahane walks away to the pavilion! The round arm action from Riyan Parag fetches him a wicket. Skipper vs Skipper and Parag gets rid of his opposite number! Ajinkya Rahane departs for 30 as KKR lose their third.
KKR 111/3 (13)
KKR vs RR Match Updates: ๐ฏUp On The Board
100 comes up in the 12th over and Knights are looking decent now. They have to accelerate now. Otherwise things will go out of hand quickly.
KKR 107/2 (12)
KKR vs RR Live Scorecard: Kolkata Maintains Flow ๐
11 off the 11th over while 10th yielded 8 so runs are coming but they have to attack now with plenty of firepower left. Have to be quite-pro-active now! Will have to see how many they get now. Rahane is still there alongside Raghuvanshi.
KKR 97/2 (11)
KKR vs RR Live Score: Oooopssss ๐ฌ
Strategic Time-Out! The pitch is not that easy to score runs on and hence, they will have to be careful with that. But they somehow have to put up 180 on the board even if it's easy to bat on!
KKR 78/2 (9)
KKR vs RR Live: Gurbaz Departs, Theekshana Attacks ๐ฏ
Theekshana gets his man. Gurbaz hits that straight down the throat of Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid wicket. Now then, that's a huge breakthrough. Gurbaz was looking good but now has to walk back. Theekshana gets Gurbaz fifth time!
KKR 69/2 (7.3)
KKR vs RR Live Updates: End of Powerplay ๐ช๐ป
End of powerplay. Kolkata Knight Riders are 56/1 after the first six overs. Sunil Narine was dismissed for 11 by Yudhvir but after that it has all been KKR. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane is not out on 18 off 8 while Rahmanullah Gurbaz is not out on 24 off 19.
KKR 56/1 (6)

KKR 32/1 (4)
KKR vs RR Update: Archer Continues ๐ฏ
Tidy stuff from Archer. Just 4 runs from his 2nd over. Pace and some movement for the Englishman. Tough playing against him even though this deck is slow.
KKR 17/1 (3)
KKR vs RR Match Updates: Narine 6๏ธโฃ&โ๐ป
Sunil Narine does what he does. A four and a six in the over. And the very next delivery, furniture disturbed! Yudhvir Singh Charak get's the breakthrough. That's the start they needed and that's what they get! Just 1 for the left-hander today.
KKR 13/1 (2)
KKR vs RR Live Scorecard: Archer Spot On ๐ฏ
Excellent start for Archer and Royals. Just 2 off the first over. Spot on bowling from the express pacer. No loose deliveries and a bit of swing. Knights playing cautiously.

Contrary to win probability calculations, Rajasthan Royals are predicted to emerge victorious in this encounter, overcoming their underdog status. While KKR have home advantage at Eden Gardens, RR's batting firepower led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhavs Suryavanshi and Riyan Parag should capitalize on the batting-friendly conditions.
Though KKR have performed better statistically this season, RR's bowling attack featuring Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, and Wanindu Hasaranga have the versatility to contain KKR's top-heavy batting lineup. The match will likely hinge on how RR handles KKR's powerhouse performers like Rahane and Narine.
