RR Win By Six Wickets! No drama occurred in the end overs as Rajasthan Royals win the game by seven balls to spare. Skipper Sanju Samsom smashed the winning run and he should be a happy man. Comprehensive win for the Men in Pink and they go to sixth place in the team standings. On the other hand, KKR have slipped to the last place and they have some work to do.

24 Apr, 23:05 (IST)

Rajasthan Royals need just 21 runs in the last four overs to win this game and collect two crucial points. Although KKR bowlers have bowled tightly in the past few overs, David Miller and Sanju Samson have been scoring smartly with the scoring rate under five.

24 Apr, 22:49 (IST)

OUT! Another one bites the dust and it's Rahul Tewatia this time. He tries to go for a glory shot but could only find Kamlesh Nagarkoti near the cover region. Absolutely needless from the southpaw with the required run-rate below six. KKR are still in the hunt. Rahul Tewatia c (sub)K Nagarkoti b Prasidh 5(8)

24 Apr, 22:37 (IST)

OUT! A much-needed wicket for the Knight Riders as Shivam Dube and Sanju Samson were threatening to take the game away. However, the former is gone now and Varun Chakravarthy is one to be thanked. The southpaw completely mistimed a big hit and Prasidh Krishna accepted an easy catch at short third man. Shivam Dube c Prasidh b Chakravarthy 22(18)

24 Apr, 22:25 (IST)

Despite the fall of two early wickets, Rajasthan Royals are in a strong position with skipper Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube going strong in the middle. Both players have been busy between the wickets and have also smashed boundaries at times. The Men in Pink currently need 57 off 66 deliveries and only wickets can bring KKR back in the hunt.

24 Apr, 22:06 (IST)

OUT! Oh No Yashasvi Jaiswal! You have thrown it away after a brilliant start. Batting at 22, the young southpaw went for yet another big hit off Shivam Mavi's delivery but didn't get the connection and Kamlesh Nagarkoti took a good catch at deep cover. Rajasthan Royals are two down now. Jaiswal c (sub)K Nagarkoti b Shivam Mavi 22(17)

24 Apr, 21:57 (IST)

OUT! Big blow for Rajasthan Royals as Jos Buttler departs for just five. Having smashed the previous delivery for a boundary, Buttler tried to guide this ball to the leg-side but missed it completely and the umpire was impressed with the LBW shout. Varun Chakravarthy gets the vital wicket. Buttler lbw b Chakravarthy 5(7)

24 Apr, 21:50 (IST)

Rajasthan Royals have made a steady start with the bat while chasing a mediocre total. While young Yashasvi Jaiswal has already smashed a couple of boundaries, Jos Buttler is yet to open his arms. However, the duo doesn't need to do anything fancy with the required run-rate under control.

24 Apr, 21:25 (IST)

Chris Morris removes Varun Chakravarthy off the final ball to end with figures of 4/23. His scalps include power hitters Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik and Pat Cummins apart from Varun Chakravarthy, who is clean bowled in trying to play the scoop shot. 

24 Apr, 21:19 (IST)

OUT! Chris Morris has now dismissed Pat Cummins to another brilliant catch from Riyan Parag. Cummins slogged the ball hard but it goes straight to Riyan Paragh at deep mid-wicket. Cummins c Riyan Parag b Chris Morris 10(6)

CSK beat them by 45 runs while RCB chased down 178 against Rajasthan in just 17.6 overs without losing a wicket. The Sanju Samson-led side have been inconsistent in both their batting and bowling and need to quickly organise themselves or watch the season slip away. RR vs KKR, IPL 2021 Live Cricket Streaming: Watch Free Telecast of Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders on Star Sports and Disney+Hotstar Online.

It has been quite a similar story for KKR. They started the season with a 10-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad but have since lost three on the trot. KKR’s top-order looked in great touch in the opening two matches while their middle order struggled. It has been vice-versa in the last two games. The two-time champions need their batting to fire in unison. KKR’s bowling have also been costly with record signing Pat Cummins conceding 58 runs in four overs against CSK.
