IPL 2024: Russell-Narine Trump Fireworks By Jacks-Patidar As KKR Beat RCB By One Run
Impact Player Suyash Prabhudessai: Andre Russell and Sunil Narine took five wickets collectively as Kolkata Knight Riders clinched a nail-biting victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just one run at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday.
After captain Shreyas Iyer hit a 36-ball fifty, also his first half-century in the IPL since May 2022, while Phil Salt and Ramandeep Singh smashed quick cameos in propelling KKR to a massive 222/6, Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar struck fifties in a 102-run stand for the third wicket to keep RCB in the hunt.
But Russell and Narine struck to leave RCB in trouble as they went from 137/2 to 155/6. Despite a late scare from Karn Sharma, who hammered three sixes 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. With this win, KKR jumped to second place in the points table.
