|
4 OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets in two overs for Rabada. The start gets even better for the Titans. Not the best of balls by Rabada, though. Short and wide on off, there to be put away. Tim Seifert looks to get on top of the bounce and flay it up and over the infield on the off side. The ball does not rise as much as the Kiwi expected it to. Tim hits it flat and straight to cover-point, where Glenn Phillips gobbles it up. KKR are 32/3. 32/3

0.4 OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! Siraj lands the first blow. Just before this ball, Simon Katich was praising Tim Seifert for the way he played the first few balls with the swing and very unlike Finn Allen, who has been dismissed while going across the line. Ajinkya Rahane goes the Allen way and pays the price. This is full, outside off. A bit of away movement. Rahane gets his hands out in front and swings hard at it. Cuts across the ball and slices it in the air towards mid on, where Kagiso Rabada settles under it and does the rest. A golden duck for the KKR captain. 5/1

2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kagiso Rabada gets his radar and strikes. That Test-match line and length, on a good length, in the corridor of uncertainty. Angkrish Raghuvanshi hangs back and opens the bat face, looking to run it down to deep third. The ball brushes the outside edge before going into the mitts of the keeper, Jos Buttler, who makes no mistake. With this, Buttler completes 300 T20 catches. First Siraj and now Rabada, both GT quicks striking in the first over. 21/2

| Cameron Green | 79 | 55 | 7 | 4 | 143.63 |
|
20 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Fantastic final over from Rashid after being carted in the previous three overs. A good length leg break, wide outside off. Green is half forward, and reaches for it by throwing his hands at it, but only finds the outside edge through to the keeper. A sharp catch from Jos Buttler behind the stumps, to his right. KKR ARE BOWLED OUT ON 180! 180/10

| Rovman Powell | 27 | 20 | 2 | 2 | 135 |
|
11 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Excellent deception from Ashok Sharma, and he gets the reward. The 55-run stand is broken. After the previous bouncer at 146 kph, Sharma dishes out the back-of-the-hand slower ball at 107.7 kph. This is fuller and around off. Powell clears the front leg and swings to go downtown but he does not pick the change of pace. Rovman is early into the lofted hit and skies it towards mid on, where Mohammed Siraj runs in off the ropes and takes the catch around his left shoulder. 87/4

| Anukul Roy | 9 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 128.57 |
|
14.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Prasidh Krishna breaks through for GT. Krishna pushes it across the left-hander, on a good length from over the wicket. Roy's weight stays on the back foot, and he stays leg side of the ball, looking to go inside out. The ball leaves him with the angle and grazes the outside edge on the way to the keeper, Jos Buttler, who snaffles it safely. Wicket number 11 of the season for Prasidh. 147/5
|

| Rinku Singh | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
15.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! No heroics from Rinku in Ahmedabad this time around. Slammed hard on a length, angled across the batter with a good bit of bounce. Rinku Singh opens up his stance and tries to smash it down the ground, but loses his shape completely while doing so and a thin outside edge is found. Buttler takes a regulation catch behind, followed by a muted celebration. Wicket number 3 for Rabada and GT come back strongly. Kolkata Knight Riders have slipped from 147/4 to 148/6 in the span of three balls. 148/6

| Ramandeep Singh | 17 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 212.50 |
|
16.3 OUT! MILES UP AND CAUGHT! The slower one does the trick again for Ashok. Back of the hand slower ball, full and outside off, at 105.9 kph. Ramandeep gets down on one knee and looks to go big down the ground. The change of pace deceives him. He fails to read it, miscues off the toe end, and sends it ballooning high into the wide long on region. Siraj moves to his right and settles under the skier, taking it with a reverse cup just above his right shoulder. 147/4 becomes 165/7 for KKR. 165/7

| Sunil Narine | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
17.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Phillips comes up with a fine catch. A full ball by Siraj, outside the off stump. Sunil Narine tries to pump it behind deep cover, but slices it aerially behind the point region. Glenn Phillips from backward point, covers a lot of ground to his left, running backward and actually, for a moment, overruns, but manages to take the catch with a slide. Kolkata Knight Riders are 166/8 now, with their innings falling apart. 166/8

| Kartik Tyagi | 6 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 150 |
|
18.2 OUT! KARTIK TYAGI IS RUN OUT! Good presence of mind from Krishna. He nails the yorker at the legs again, and Tyagi ends up nutmegging himself while trying to flick the ball to the leg side. Buttler collects the ball and Tyagi is still ball-watching, but Green rushes through to the other end, but Buttler misses his shy at the striker's end and the ball rolls to the bowler. Krishna picks the ball and runs to the bowling end to dislodge the bails with Kartik nowhere in the frame. 173/9

5.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Sunil Narine provides KKR with a much-needed breakthrough. Narine spots Sai backing away, and he follows him with a full ball. With square leg inside the circle, Sudharsan sinks to a knee and looks to go up and over that man inside the circle. A top edge is found, and it goes straight up towards short fine leg, where Kartik Tyagi moves to his right and takes the catch. The 57-run opening stand has been broken. Can KKR build on this scalp? 57/1

| Shubman Gill C | 86 | 50 | 8 | 4 | 172 |

17 OUT! CAUGHT! Cameron Green pulls off a spectacular grab. The wide line has eventually worked for Vaibhav Arora. A seam-up ball, full and angling away. Gill hangs deep in the crease and is standing with an open stance. He throws the kitchen sink at it. Slices it off the outer half as the top hand comes off the bat handle. It goes flat to deep backward point, where Green runs in off the ropes and puts a full-length dive in front. Gets his hands under the ball and holds onto a top catch. Gill tosses his bat in frustration. He wanted to be there till the end. It will have to be someone else to get the job done for GT. 158/4

| Jos Buttler Wk | 25 | 15 | 2 | 2 | 166.66 |
|
9.1 OUT! CAUGHT! 100th wicket in KKR colours for Varun Chakaravarthy. The change in angle works for Chakaravarthy. Floated up from around the wicket, full and on middle. Buttler keeps a still head and looks to go down the ground. The bat turns in his hand, and Buttler does not get any elevation on the shot. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of long on, where Cameron Green gets low and gobbles it up. Believe it or not, this is the first wicket of the season for Varun. This is also his first wicket against GT in the league's history. 95/2

| Washington Sundar | 13 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
14.3 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! A wicket against the run of play as Varun gets his second. He angles the ball on the middle stump line, on a length, from around the stump. Washington Sundar hangs deep in the crease and tries to whip it aerially, but airs it straight to deep backward square leg. Kartik Tyagi crouches low as the ball dips and takes a fine catch in the deep to send Sundar packing. Gujarat Titans are 141/3, needing 40 runs from 33 balls. 141/3

| Glenn Phillips | 19 | 16 | 2 | 0 | 118.75 |
|
19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Well, well. Glenn Phillips goes and KKR have a glimmer of hope. Ramandeep bends his back and digs it in short, around the off stump. Phillips gets on his toes and looks to drag the pull in front of square. He was better off giving himself a bit of room and going through the off side. Glenn fails to get on top of the bounce and a top edge is found. Rinku Singh comes charging in off the ropes and grabs it near his chest. 4 needed off 5 for GT. 177/5
