IPL Points Table 2019, Standings, Ranking, Orange cap, Purple Cap After End Of Second Week

The second week of the Indian Premier League (IPL) came to an end with the two games on Sunday (April 7).  In the last game of Sunday’s double header, Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets. Bowling first, the Knight Riders came up with a clinical effort to restrict the Royals to 139 for 3 in the stipulated 20 overs. Right from the first over when Prasidh Krishna dismissed Ajinkya Rahane till the last ball of the innings, the Knight Riders never allowed the Royals to get off the hook.

As a result, the Royals never got the impetus to put up the big total. In reply, the Knight Riders came out all guns blazing. Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine blasted 65 runs in the powerplay itself to seal Royals’ fate. The two added 91 runs for the first wicket before Narine departed. Lynn was the next to go after scoring 50 before Robin Uthappa and Shubman Gill took the side home.
