Kolkata Clinch Important Win:

After two consecutive losses, Kolkata Knight clinched an important win against Royal Challengers at the latter’s fortress. The bowlers were skillful in the powerplay overs and have not let in any runs for free-flowing Brendon McCullum and Quinton de Kock at the top.

Once the openers tried to break the pressure, they gave away their wickets.

But, Kohli toiled hard and managed to get a decent 175 on the board. But the total looked to be below par for Kolkata batting lineup.

They were on top of Bangalore bowlers from the start and saw the win through.

Dinesh Karthik has been impressive with the bat and once again took his side to the win after few nervy moments. But the biggest concern for Knight Riders would be the fitness of Nitish Rana. The young Indian talent suffered from a stiff back during the game and went out retired hurt.

If Kolkata continues their trend and win few more games, they could really be genuine contenders for a playoff spot this season.

Concluding, Andre Russell is looking forward to giving his best, owing to the all-round performance.
