This is their game to lose, especially when they have a set batter in Quinton de Kock.KKR 109/2 (14)
- 22:30 (IST)RR vs KKR Live: Good batting!This is really smart batting from Kolkata Knight Riders youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi.

- 22:27 (IST)RR vs KKR Live: SIX!11.1 - The match resumed in no time and de Kock welcomes Riyan Parag with a biggie.

- 21:28 (IST)RR vs KKR Live: Surface "holding a bit", informs Chakravarthy"Today was a good wicket for me. It was holding a bit. It wasn't turning square but it was just holding a bit and I could stick to my lengths. (On Mooen Ali) It's great to have him. He had to turn up so quickly because it was on short notice we got to know that Sunny (Narine) was not well. The way he turned up so quickly was amazing. (On chasing 152) We couldn't have asked for better. The pitch is slow, some smart batting will help. He was looking in great touch, Riyan. The six he hit off me, I just thought the ball I bowled previously was a little short and I just wanted to stay a little more fuller and see what's happening with the pitch, it just got the edge," said Varun Chakravarthy at the innings break.
- 21:18 (IST)RR vs KKR Live: Rajasthan Royals post 151 for 9!13 runs came off Spencer Johnson's final over and Rajasthan Royals have got a fighting total on the board.

- 20:21 (IST)RR vs KKR Live: WICKET!Wanindu Hasaranga is OUT! Rajasthan Royals' idea of sending the spin bowling all-rounder up the order has not worked.
