KKR vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2024: Andre Russel's all-round effort headlined Kolkata Knight Riders' sweaty four-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match at Eden Gardens on Saturday. Russell's brutal unbeaten 64 off 25 balls with three fours and seven sixes and Phil Salt's more pragmatic 54 off 40 balls guided KKR to 208 for seven. Left-arm pacer T Natarajan was their most successful bowler with a three-wicket haul (3/32). At several points, SRH threatened to chase 208 down, particularly when Heinrich Klaasen (63, 29b, 8x6s) went berserk in the backend of the innings. But the Hyderabad side fell agonisingly close to the target with Harshit Rana saving 12 runs in the final over.
Highlights of IPL 2024 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad:
- 23:22 (IST)
- 23:08 (IST)
- 22:34 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live: OUT!Aiden Markram is gone!

Markram fell for 18 off 13 balls. Sunrisers Hyderabad need 102 runs in 50 balls.
- 22:21 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live: Catch dropped!8.4 - Rahul Tripathi played a slog sweep but edged the ball really high in the air on the bowling of Sunil Narine. Nitish Rana went underneath but dropped the catch at the end as the ball popped out of his hands to fall on the ground. It was a tough catch to be honest as the ball went really high into the night sky.
- 21:39 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live Score: SRH start chase12 runs came off the first over of Mitchell Starc, not too good a start for the costliest buy of IPL with Rs 24.75 crore price tag. Mayank Agarwal hit a four on the fifth legal delivery of the over. SRH were also awarded a boundary through bye after a bouncer from Starc went over the KKR wicketkeeper Phil Salt and ran away for a four.
- 21:20 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live: KKR post 208/7!That is a massive total for KKR. At one point they were struggling to get a competitive total but now they have enough on the board. All that is possible due to the 'muscle Russell' show. He scored 64 not out off 25 balls with the help of 3 fours and 7 sixes.
- 21:14 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Fifty for Russell!Andre Russell got to his half-century with a six. He got there in 20 balls but that was not the end of the carnage in the over of Bhuvneshwar Kumar as Russell a six and a four more in it. A total of 26 runs came in it and in hte last four overs KKR have scored 77. 200 is up for KKR and they have one more over to go.
- 20:43 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: Salt is OUT!Soon after scoring his half-century, Salt departs for the score of 54 off 40 balls on the bowling of Mayank Markande. He wanted to hit the ball for a six over deep mid-wicket but failed to get past the fielder there. Marco Jansen took a brilliant catch with a dive.
- 20:34 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: 50-run partnershipA single and the partnership for the fifth wicket is of 50 runs off 27 balls. Philip Salt hits a four on the next delivery, to make it 54 off 28. What a turnaroud this has been for KKR. They had their head against the wall after losing four wickets for 51 runs but now they are back in the game.
- 20:20 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live Score: SIX!Ramandeep Singh has hit a full shot on the bowling of Pat Cummins for a six. That came off the last ball of the over that fetched KKR a total of 13 runs. Meanwhile, Cummins' figures read 0 for 20 in the first two overs. Not a good start for a Rs 20.50 crore buy, for sure!
- 20:08 (IST)IPL 2024 Live: That was close6.4 - Nitish Rana made some room for himself and tried to play the short delivery of Marco Jansen over the cover fielder. He failed to time that well and nearly handed a catch to the fielder there. Samad was the player who made a jump there but failed to hold on to the catch.
- 19:40 (IST)KKR vs SRH Live: SIX, SIX, SIX!That's a biggie from the bat of Phil Salt on the third ball of Marco Jansen's over. The next ball is similar to the previous one and it also deserves the same treatment. Jansen bowls a good length in the follow-up and Salt slams that too for a big one. That's hat-trick of sixes!
