b Varun Aaron
0.3 OUT! LYNN CHOPS IT ON! Aaron draws first blood and that too on the third ball itself. He is pumped and why not? He has got the dangerous Lynn. This is probably the worst of the three deliveries he has bowled so far. This is short and wide outside off, Lynn throws his bat at it away from the body. He only manages an inside edge and the ball disturbs the furniture behind. Perfect start for Rajasthan after electing to bowl. 0/1

Shubman Gill | 14 | 14 | 2 | 0 | 100 |
b Varun Aaron
5 OUT! Aaron strikes again! This is just a top, top delivery. Unplayable! Aaron bowls the slower one and it starts from way outside off. It comes back in a long way and very late. Gill fails to adjust and ends up playing outside the line. The ball takes the inside edge and then hits the stumps behind. This is an excellent comeback into the team for Aaron. Because of him, Rajasthan are on top at the moment. 31/2

Nitish Rana | 21 | 26 | 3 | 0 | 80.76 |
c Varun Aaron b Shreyas Gopal
8.2 OUT! Gopal gets his first and Rana, who had got a start, departs. It is another googly outside off, it is slightly shorter in length. Rana goes back and tries to cut but ends up hitting it uppishly to the man at point. Aaron takes it nicely. Kolkata slip further. 42/3

Sunil Narine | 11 | 8 | 1 | 1 | 137.5 |
run out (Varun Aaron)
11.3 OUT! Narine is out by a long, long way! This is the last thing Kolkata would have wanted. Just as they were starting to get on top, they have lost Narine and in a needless fashion. Karthik works this through mid-wicket. They take one and then go for a second. There is some confusion in between as Narine stops, he then continues. Aaron picks the ball up and fires it to Rahane who is at the bowler's end. He collects the ball and whips the bails off. An appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Narine is way short. Also, replays show that, Narine was never looking for a second, he was jogging the first run. Karthik should have spotted that and should have never gone for the second. Also, Karthik himself did not ground his bat inside the crease which means, the first run also does not count. Poor cricket all around there from DK. 80/4

Andre Russell | 14 | 14 | 0 | 1 | 100 |
c Riyan Parag b Oshane Thomas
16.5 OUT! No third time lucky for Russell as he holes out. Just wasn't timing the ball that well tonight. Oshane Thomas gets his man. It is short and outside off. Russell again looks to drag his pull shot but it goes right off the bottom part. Parag at deep mid-wicket takes it with ease. Huge wicket as Russell could have easily taken the game away from Rajasthan. 119/5

Carlos Brathwaite | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 166.66 |
c Ajinkya Rahane b Jaydev Unadkat
17.2 OUT! Unadkat has the last laugh! Another big-hitter walks back without making an impact. Unadkat sticks to bowling the slower balls. Brathwaite goes for the pull but does not get it off the middle. It has more air than distance and Rahane at deep mid-wicket takes a good catch diving forward. 131/6

lbw b Sunil Narine
5.2 OUT! That is as plumb as it can get! Rahane misses a straight delivery. Narine lands it on middle and skids through. Rahane ends up playing outside the line, misses and the ball hits the front pad. An appeal and the umpire raises the finger. Rahane has a chat with Samson but then does not review and rightly so. Narine provides the much-needed breakthrough for the hosts. However, Rahane has provided the start the visitors wanted. Who would capitalize from here? 123 runs needed in 88 balls. 53/1

Sanju Samson Wk | 22 | 15 | 0 | 2 | 146.66 |
b Piyush Chawla
6.3 OUT! KABOOM! Chawla strikes. The bowling change has worked wonders. Samson gets himself into a tangle there. Chawla bowls the googly around off, at first Samson looks to play the paddle. He then realizes he picked the wrong ball and hence, looks to play it with a straight bat. His willow though hits his boot and the bat does not come through. The ball till then, sneaks through and uproots the off pole. Two wickets in quick succession and both the openers are back in the hut. Kolkata are back into the game. 57/2
|
|||||
Steven Smith C | 2 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |
b Sunil Narine
7.2 OUT! The spinners have turned the game on its head. The Rajasthan skipper is walking back now. Three wickets in three overs for the hosts and two have been taken by Narine. Another batsman who has missed a straight ball. This pitches on off and skids through again. Smith looks to work it across the line but misses and the ball hits the stumps. The visitors are in a spot of bother here. Also, excellent captaincy by Karthik to give Narine his third. You normally don't see him bowl three within the first 10 overs. 63/3
|
|||||
Ben Stokes | 11 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 110 |
c Andre Russell b Piyush Chawla
10.1 OUT! There goes Ben Stokes and probably now. Rajasthan's chances of chasing this down, look very slim. Not sure if this shot was needed by Stokes. They got 11 from the last over. Also, with Chawla bowling so well not sure he needed to take him on. Stokes makes room and then looks to power it over long on. It seems for a second as it would go all the way. Russell though does really well as he keeps himself inside the rope. Times his leap to perfection and takes it. 78/4
|
|||||
Riyan Parag | 47 | 31 | 5 | 2 | 151.61 |
hit wicket b Andre Russell
18.5 OUT! He's gone! How unfortunate. Kolkata needed this desperately and they've got the dangerman. Russell bangs it in short and angles it in on leg, Parag looks to pull but is off balance a bit. It goes off his glove and in the process, the batter knocking his bails off with his swinging bat. It's taken upstairs to check if it's a no ball or not for height and replays show it's fine. 167/7
|
|||||
Stuart Binny | 11 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 100 |
c Rinku Singh b Piyush Chawla
12.3 OUT! Binny holes out! Once again, the shot can surely be questioned. This is Chawla's last over, you would probably think about playing him out but no, Binny has different ideas. He brings out the slog sweep but does not get it right off the middle. It goes straight to Rinku Singh at the mid-wicket fence. Half the side back in the hut for the visitors and Kolkata are into the bowling all-rounders. 78 in 45 needed. 98/5
|
|||||
Shreyas Gopal | 18 | 9 | 4 | 0 | 200 |
c Shubman Gill b Prasidh Krishna
15.2 OUT! Gopal holes out and that should be it for Rajasthan. Should be. Fuller length ball just outside off, the batsman clears his front leg and attempts to go big downtown. He doesn't time it at all, and hands a simple enough catch to Gill running in from the deep. 123/6
