KKR faced a devastating blow as their captain, Shreyas Iyer, fell victim to the relentless duo of Chahal and Samson. In the 12th over, Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a deceptive googly, luring Iyer into a risky slog sweep. Despite the skipper's effort, he missed the ball, only to see it crashing into his back thigh, prompting a fervent appeal for lbw.

The umpire raised his finger, signaling Shreyas Iyer's dismissal, but not without the KKR captain challenging the decision through a review. However, replays confirmed the worst for KKR as Ultra-Edge detected no bat involved, and Ball-Tracking painted a grim picture with three reds, sealing Iyer's fate. 

With this, he trudged back to the pavilion, leaving KKR reeling from his early departure and squandering their review in the process.

As the article was penned down, KKR stood at 146/3, relying on Russell and Narine to anchor their innings in the face of adversity. With Iyer's departure, the onus now lay heavily on the remaining batsmen to steer KKR towards a respectable total.
