Kolkata Knight Riders have managed to post a total of 174 runs on the board for the loss of 6 wickets after 20 overs.
Openers Shubman Gill and Sunil Narine got KKR off to a decent start with an opening partnership of 36 runs. After Narine’s wicket, Gill went on to play a good innings scoring 47 runs off just 34 balls continuing his good start to the tournament. Batsmen Nitish Rana and Andre Russell got promising starts to their innings but could not build on it further. Eoin Morgan played a good innings at the end scoring 34 runs off just 23 balls.
Double delight!
Morgan slashes one past backward point but is dropped at the fence.

Fast-bowler Jofra Archer was absolutely fantastic for the Royals conceding just 18 runs in his 4 overs picking up a couple of important wickets of Shubman and KKR captain Dinesh Karthik. Rahul Tewatia picked up a wicket and conceded just 6 runs in his one over. Bowlers Jaydev Unadkat, Ankit Rajpoot and Tom Curran all picked up a wicket each as well.

Rajasthan Royals will be pretty confident about chasing the total with their batting department in sublime form at the start of this tournament.
