The first game

Half a century later, Sai Sudharsan returned to the pavilion. Gill continues to hammer the KKR bowler along with Jos Buttler and gets close to his century. However, Vaibhav Arora manages to stop him from becoming a centurion. Finally, GT released 198/3 in 20 points.

After the Power Game, KKR has lost 2 wickets, including Sunil Narine in form. However, Ajinkya Rahane played the captain’s inning, but that wasn’t enough for KKR, as he was fired half a century later. As the wickets routinely dropped, Kolkata was unable to match the required run rate, ending up losing 39 times.
With this victory, the Gujarat Titans continued to rank in the scoring with a 6 win. On the other hand, the Kolkata Cavaliers still ranked seventh with 6 points.
