On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) managed to beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a high-scoring clash in Chennai. Nitish Rana was the catalyst of Kolkata’s victory with the willow. He scored 80 off just 56 deliveries to allow the Eoin Morgan led side to post a competitive total of 187/6 on the board.
