KOLKATA: Everything went right for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday night as they returned to their winning ways. To top it all, skipper Ajinkya Rahane even came away happy with the Eden Gardens pitch for the first time this season!
Although KKR got off to yet another poor start after Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins put them in to bat, some incredible hitting by Venkatesh Iyer (60 off 29 balls; 7x4, 3x6) and Rinku Singh (32 not out off 17 balls; 4x4, 1x6) saw the hosts getting their first 200-run total this season.
