Kolkata Knight Riders fought their way to the Indian Premier League play-offs as they defeated Rajasthan Royals’ team in the match on May 15 (Tusday). Held at the Eden Gardens’ stadium in Kolkata, the match saw KKR moving up to the third spot by beating RR by six wickets. With two more overs to go, KKR managed to chase the meagre 143 that RR made, with ease. Captain Dinesh Karthik remained not-out at 41 and Chris Lynn made an impressive 45. Ajinkya Rahane’s team faltered batting at display which lead to their wickets falling like a pack of cards, one after the other, in the first innings.
